In the hospitality industry, 59% of workers expressed concern about AI's impact on their jobs, while in tourism, 43% of respondents expressed worry, according to a press release on the findings.
Overall, the data revealed that over one in three (35%) of Americans are worried about the possibility of AI making their professions redundant.
