22% of US workers say they worry technology will replace their jobs — an increase from 2021, Gallup says.
Workers with concerns tend to be young, college-educated, and make under $100k a year.
The growing fear comes as AI tools like ChatGPT can now perform job tasks like writing and coding.
And when considering just college-educated workers, the rise in worry is even sharper: from 8% who were worried in 2021 to a whopping 20% who are worried today, the poll says.
The rapid development of generative AI technology, the Gallup researchers say, "may be changing the stereotype of what computers can do in the workplace."
