Gen Z, also known as Zoomers, the generation born between 1997 and 2012, is showing a remarkable interest in generative artificial intelligence (AI).
This generation has been experimenting with AI to improve their writing, understand complex concepts, review or write code, manage finances, and a host of other tasks. They have also been exploring the capabilities of this technology and honing their skills to effectively incorporate it into their professional lives. In fact, some have even been encouraged by their schools to do so.
A survey conducted by the Pew Research Center confirms this. The survey found that young adults are more likely to use AI in the workplace than their older counterparts.
The integration of generative AI into workplace tools such as email providers, graphics editors, productivity software, and coding programs has also generated excitement. Some Gen Zers are excited about the potential of AI to help them in their professional pursuits, such as software engineering. However, others acknowledge concerns about potential job displacement and the quality of work.
Gen Zers reportedly see AI as a tool that will become increasingly integrated into their daily lives despite concerns from some AI leaders about scenarios involving AI overpowering humanity.
