The AI Readiness Paradox: Perceptions Of Artificial Intelligence And Workforce Preparedness in Romania 1: University of Bucharest, Romania; 2: National University of Science and Technology POLITEHNICA Bucharest; 3: National Institute of Innovations in Cybersecurity “CYBERCOR”, Technical University of Moldova, Moldova Based on a quantitative survey of 413 Romanian respondents, this analysis reveals a significant "AI Readiness Paradox". While individuals feel moderately prepared for AI's integration into their work, an overwhelming 77% believe the nation as a whole is not sufficiently informed. The findings highlight widespread anxiety about job displacement, particularly for office and administrative roles, which are seen as highly exposed. Furthermore, AI is currently valued more for the personal "comfort" it provides (37%) than for productivity gains, which is reflected in a low willingness to pay for AI services, as 67% of users engage only with free versions. A sense of fatalism is also prevalent, with 35% of respondents believing they will have no choice but to accept AI's pervasive integration into their lives. | |
