AI Adoption Soars In India, But Workers Fear Job Displacement: BCG Report

India tops the charts in AI adoption, with 92% of workers using it regularly. Yet nearly half fear losing their jobs to it.

A new BCG report reveals this anxiety is highest in regions with heavy AI use—India, Spain, and the Middle East.

The survey, covering 10,000 employees in 11 countries, found that 41% worry about job loss due to AI.

Interestingly, managers and leaders feel the most threatened over the next decade.

Despite rapid adoption, especially in the Global South, the report highlights a gap in readiness.
