Workers Fear AI Is Training Their Replacements
Business Insider reports on April 5, 2026 that many workers fear using AI will train their replacements, with a recent poll showing 30% of Americans believe their jobs may become obsolete. Experts including Forrester's JP Gownder and sociologist Alex Rosenblat note companies are investing billions in AI and sometimes cite it to justify cuts. They say most roles will be augmented rather than outright replaced in the near term.
