A new study published on arXiv investigates the psychological roots of AI anxiety in the workplace, focusing on job replacement fears. The research suggests that exposure to narratives emphasizing AI's control over humans, rather than direct personal experience, can trigger these anxieties. Findings indicate that the perceived usefulness of AI moderates this effect, while perceived ease of use does not significantly influence it. AI
