AI anxiety: workers fret over uncertain future

The Hindu  

The tidal wave of artificial intelligence barrelling toward many professions has generated deep anxiety among workers fearful that their jobs will be swept away - and the mental health impact is rising. "Anything new and unknown is anxiety-producing," Clare Gustavsson, a New York therapist whose patients have shared concerns about AI, told AFP. "I anticipate that my job will become obsolete within the next 10 years," Eric, a bank teller, told AFP, declining to give his second name. Trying to ‘embrace the unknown’ New York therapist Meris Powell told AFP of an entertainment professional worried about AI being used in film and television production - a threat to actors and screenwriters that is a flashpoint in strikes currently gripping Hollywood. "People started to realize that some of the skills they had developed and specialised in could possibly be replaced by AI," she told AFP, adding she had honed her coding skills, but now feels even that has scant promise in an AI world.
