What was confirmed
- The two groups differed in their expectations of the share of their work AI could do.

Who, and in what situation
A survey asking what AI will be able to do in future and its impact on their own work.
What they needed
An interest in seeing ahead on the future of their own work. It is not a result asking for specific support.
What this source lets you read
You need a viewpoint that compares the outlook of people close to AI without extending it directly to other occupations.
What to check next
When occupation and frequency of AI use are matched, how close do the views of the future get?
Limits of this source
- These are numbers showing future expectations, not an actual record of 2030 capabilities or unemployment.
- The US adult sample is weighted to match population composition; the employee sample is unweighted.
