Just over half of Jamaicans interviewed in the latest Consumer survey feel it is unlikely that their jobs will be replaced by technology.
Some 52 per cent of the 635 people surveyed say it is either strongly unlikely or probably unlikely for their jobs to be cut due to tech.
A breakdown showed 36 per cent thought such a shift was strongly unlikely while 16 per cent felt it was probably unlikely to happen.
Twenty-seven per cent of respondents were on the fence.
Pollster and head of Market Research Don Anderson said 21 per cent of those surveyed expect technology to impact their current job.
Nine per cent believe that their job is strongly likely to be replaced by technology and 12 per cent believe their job is probably likely to be replaced by tech.
This is the first quarter that participants in the Consumer survey were asked about their view on jobs and technology.
The perception is being gauged at a time when there is growing use of artificial intelligence (AI), and concerns among some category of workers about job security and companies implementing more technology.
