63% of Americans oppose use of AI in hiring
WASHINGTON, D.C., UNITED STATES — Around 63% of Americans think using artificial intelligence (AI) in hiring and evaluating workers is a bad idea.
In a new survey by the think tank Pew Research Center, most Americans are concerned about using AI in the workplace as it can make important decisions without human input.
More than half, or 56%, of Americans, are concerned that AI will make hiring and evaluating processes less fair. At the same time, 53% believe that AI should be used in hiring and evaluation only if it can be shown to make more accurate and fair decisions than humans.
Meanwhile, 62% of respondents believe employers should be required to explain to job candidates and employees how AI is used in their hiring and evaluation processes.
Overall, the survey suggests that while Americans are open to AI use in the workplace, they are also cautious about its potential adverse effects on job security and fairness.
Many believe that employers should only use AI if it can be shown to be more accurate and fair than human decision-making.
