This statistic shows the percentage of respondents that were slightly concerned, moderately concerned, or extremely concerned with the misuse of AI in the workplace. Specifically the fear that artificial intelligence would be used for unethical behavior such as discrimination and privacy violations.
Workers in South Africa and Portugal showed the most concern, above the average of 41%. German and Dutch workers showed the least concern with the misuse of AI at work. Concern regarding the use of artificial intelligence (AI) is a significant factor in how employees view the future of their workplace.
