Hong Kong Residents' Willingness to Use AI Rises to 77.5%, 53.7% Concerned About Job Replacement

A survey conducted by City University of Hong Kong shows that the willingness of Hong Kong citizens to use artificial intelligence has increased from 67.4% in early 2025 to 77.5% in mid-2026, a cumulative rise of 10.1 percentage points. In the survey, 53.7% of respondents expressed concerns about their jobs being replaced by AI, a figure that remains largely unchanged from the previous year. The survey, led by Professor Huang Yihui from the Department of Media and Communication at CityU, was conducted in three rounds, with the latest round interviewing 1,362 Hong Kong citizens aged 20 and above, and analyzing longitudinal samples from 398 participants who took part in all three rounds. The results show that among respondents aged 20 to 34, 61.3% are worried about job security, while 60.6% of bachelor's degree holders are concerned about being replaced by AI. Among middle-income citizens earning between 30,000 and 60,000 HKD, 56.6% expressed similar concerns. In terms of healthcare, most citizens accept AI assistance for personal health management, but clinical diagnostic decisions still tend to be led by doctors.
