A 2025 survey by Statistics Netherlands (CBS) shows that 41% of employees think AI could perform part of their job, while 4% fear full replacement. Higher-educated workers and young adults are most likely to believe their tasks could be automated.

Among those using AI at work, 56% expect it could partly or fully do their jobs, compared with 37% of non-users. Almost half of the workers who see AI as a potential replacement expressed concern, with women slightly more worried than men.

Most adults anticipate that AI will lead to job losses (75%), a decline in workforce skills (64%), and less interesting work (48%). Despite these concerns, 57% believe AI could boost productivity by speeding up tasks.

Fewer respondents think AI will solve labour shortages (46%) or replace unsafe jobs (41%). The findings highlight both the opportunities and anxieties surrounding AI adoption in the workplace.
