Teens Don‘t Worry About AI. Should They?
The survey found 90% of teens expect to match or exceed their family’s financial standing as Junior Achievement expands AI-focused career prep.
- A new survey by Junior Achievement USA and Ipsos shows 73 percent of U.S. teens believe Artificial Intelligence will have a mostly positive effect, or none at all, on their ability to get a good job in the future.
- This optimism persists despite recent estimates from various experts predicting significant job losses due to Artificial Intelligence within the next five years, creating a stark disconnect between youth expectations and labor market forecasts.
- Financial expectations remain equally high: 90 percent of teens expect to perform as well or better financially than their parents or grandparents, even as reports indicate younger generations struggle to keep pace with previous generations.
- Junior Achievement created "Education for What's Next" to equip Gen and Gen Alpha students with durable skills including critical thinking, communication, collaboration, and technological literacy to succeed in an Artificial Intelligence-driven workforce.
- "Helping students understand what skills will be needed in the years ahead is a priority for Junior Achievement," said CEO Jack Harris, emphasizing the need for adaptable mindsets to navigate coming technological changes.
