Global Concern, Sharper in Korea

The survey, published by Pew Research Center, measured public perceptions of AI across multiple countries. Globally, roughly half of respondents said AI poses a threat to jobs. In South Korea, however, concern was markedly higher, with 76% expressing the view that AI threatens employment.

Minor Inaccuracies in Framing

The claim's core figures match the underlying survey data. Review of the primary sources identified only minor imprecisions in how the threat framing was worded and in the survey timing notation — issues that fall short of fabrication or exaggeration.

The discrepancy between the global figure and Korea's is notable: Korean respondents expressed job-related concerns about AI at a substantially higher rate than the worldwide average.

The claim, while slightly imprecise in wording and survey timing, is largely accurate in its substance and figures. Verdict: Mostly True
