CNBC and SurveyMonkey's quarterly AI and Jobs survey found that approximately 42% of respondents believe junior employees should use AI with clear guidance and limitations, 35% believe its use should be prohibited, 14% think it should be used under supervision, and 9% believe it can be used freely. The survey was conducted from July 22 to 27 among 1,686 students and working professionals in the United States. The report noted that while many employers encourage employees to develop AI skills to boost productivity, there are unique considerations for those early in their careers regarding AI use. For example, 42% of Gen Z respondents believe junior employees should be prohibited from using AI, a higher percentage than other generations. Additionally, there are concerns that AI might hinder young employees' professional development or lead them to submit "AI-generated work" containing misinformation, increasing correction work for colleagues.
