Shaping the Future of Work: Workers’ Optimism and Pessimism about AI

Anat Bracha and Jenny Tang

No 25-16, Current Policy Perspectives from Federal Reserve Bank of Boston

Abstract: The artificial intelligence (AI) revolution is here and is expected to transform the labor market, creating new opportunities for some workers while eliminating the jobs of others. At the end of 2024, the authors of this brief surveyed a sample of US household heads working in different industries and with different educational backgrounds to better understand how they view AI and its potential effects on their job prospects and financial well-being.
