Part 2/7:
One of the core questions posed to the audience concerned the extent to which AI, AGI, or automation might permanently displace workers within the next 20 years. The poll segmented perceptions into different unemployment levels, prompting respondents to estimate the scale of potential job loss.
Results and Interpretations
0-25% unemployment: About one-third of respondents believe that only a small proportion of the workforce—up to a quarter—might be displaced, suggesting some optimism or skepticism about widespread automation.
25-50% unemployment: Around 20% anticipate a moderate impact, with a quarter expecting half or more of jobs to be affected.
