New research describes what it calls Artificial Intelligence-Induced Job Insecurity (AIJI), finding that employees who fear being replaced by AI take more shortcuts on safety at work. The study, based on time-lagged survey data, also reports that servant leadership—managers who prioritise their team's wellbeing—can buffer this effect and preserve safety behaviour under the threat of displacement.
Why now: The findings land amid widespread anxiety about AI replacing workers, making the link to safety a fresh concern for employers.
