While some might envision Gen Z welcoming artificial intelligence into their lives, a new Gallup survey finds people between the ages of 14 and 29 are becoming increasingly skeptical of — and downright mad at — AI. Only 46% of respondents believed AI would help them learn faster, down from 53% the prior year, Gallup found. For example, older Gen Zers are more likely than younger ones to voice concerns about AI’s impact on learning in general. An earlier Gallup study, released just last week, shows 42% of bachelor’s degree students have reconsidered their major because of AI. Gen Z, in its reluctant acceptance of the technology, wants help in how to navigate it, both in an academic setting and in the workplace.
