More and more Spaniards are using AI in their daily work. They also fear losing their jobs because of it.
European professionals are increasingly integrating artificial intelligence into their daily work routines, marking a significant shift from its perception as a futuristic novelty. This growing adoption suggests that AI is transitioning from a niche technology to a standard tool, altering how tasks are performed across various sectors. The trend signifies a broader technological evolution impacting the continent's workforce. Recent data indicates that 63% of professionals in Spain now regularly utilize AI tools, a notable increase from 52% the previous year. This adoption is not just in prevalence but also in understanding, with a substantial drop in professionals claiming ignorance of AI tools or their applications. Younger demographics, particularly those under 35, show higher rates of AI usage, highlighting a generational divide in digital fluency. The widespread adoption of AI tools presents both opportunities and anxieties for the European workforce. While AI promises to streamline tedious tasks and enhance productivity, concerns are rising about potential job displacement. This duality necessitates careful consideration of reskilling initiatives and policy frameworks to navigate the evolving labor market landscape.
