AI in Hiring and Evaluating Workers: What Americans Think
About six-in-ten Americans believe AI will have a major impact on workers generally, but only 28% believe it will have a major effect on them personally
Americans widely oppose employers using AI to make final hiring decisions, track workers’ movements while they work, and analyze their facial expressions
Would you want to apply for a job that uses AI to help make hiring decisions?
Majority of Black adults see racial or ethnic bias in hiring as a major problem; more who say this think AI would help, but one-in-five say it would worsen things
Among outcomes Americans predict if AI and face recognition are used at work: Feeling inappropriately watched, misuse of data, misinterpreting expressions
