Workers are keen to delegate mundane jobs to AI, but a new survey shows many Australians are also afraid that AI will replace them in their jobs.
Australian workers are not buying tech industry assurances that increasingly smart artificial intelligence will make their jobs better and not replace them, with almost half telling researchers they are bracing for significant changes to the workforce.
Of those who agree that their roles could be performed by machines, 42 per cent believe that part of their roles will be replaced within five years, while 71 per cent believe this will happen within 10 years. “It’s an unusual circumstance where consumers feel they cannot stand in the way of the fast progress in artificial intelligence.”
For its part, Microsoft executives stressed the tools are designed to save workers’ time by creating a first draft, not to replace humans entirely.

Ms Dooley’s comments come as the aged care sector is struggling with workforce shortages “even in urbanised areas” like Brisbane. “We’re seeing most older Australians want to stay in their own home, so we talk about aging in place,” she told Sky News host Amanda Stoker. “So, when we talk about aged care reform, we do need to also look at reform in the home care sector – so we would love to see more choices for people to be able to stay at home and looking at the funding instruments and the funding models to support that choice.”
