The AI bots are coming and the young are booing, not applauding
Summary
Young 'digital natives' are increasingly anxious and often openly hostile to AI as it spreads into workplaces and daily life. The article highlights booing at speeches by tech leaders and cites corporate shifts—Standard Chartered cutting over 7,000 jobs and Meta planning layoffs and deploying tracking software—to illustrate fears about automation and job loss. A Gallup survey shows Gen Z's negative emotions about AI have intensified, with nearly half saying the risks outweigh the benefits and usage plateauing for some. The piece also notes pushback from unions, courts, and creative industries and frames executive calls to adapt to AI as clashing with youth concerns.
