Attitudes to AI in the Workplace: Opportunity or Threat?

25 Jul 2025

This piece of research reveals deep age, class, gender, and occupational splits in who use generative AI — and how they feel about it. 


Those who engage with the tech are far more likely to see opportunity, while non-users often fear job loss. This divide is most stark among older adults, women, and those in working-class or manual roles. As organisations adopt AI strategies, it’s important to recognise that not all employees may share the same level of confidence or optimism.

Overlooking these differing mindsets could impact morale and engagement. Thoughtful communication and involvement will be essential to bring all employees on the journey. At Narrow Quay HR we are experts in supporting employers who are navigating through periods of change.
