## Reading

Nearly four-in-ten Americans (38%) think AI is useful in their profession, more than express any other reaction to it, according to an October 2024 Verasight survey.

Smaller shares have ethical concerns about using AI for their job or want to learn more about it for their profession (17% each), while 10% are scared it might take their job. Nearly a third (31%) say none of these fits how they see it.
