UAE survey finds widespread AI use alongside fears for jobs
An Oliver Wyman Forum report published on 5 November 2026 says 85% of surveyed UAE employees use AI at work, while 67% worry it could replace jobs.
These figures describe reported behaviour and perceptions, rather than a count of jobs lost. Only 6% of surveyed frontline employees say their employer has clearly explained its AI vision.
The UAE edition draws on 5,285 participants across several survey waves. The release says most highlighted findings come from 2025 surveys, with samples varying by question. The publication is new; the observations were not all collected recently.
