The survey polled 3,597 students and Workers across the U.S. Of the respondents, 3,365 said they were employed and 232 said they were students. When asked if they\u2019d ever avoided using AI, 36% of students polled said they\u2019d done so over environmental concerns, compared to 19% of Workers. The environmental impact of AI Data Centers includes significant\u00a0water and land use,\u00a0energy consumption\u00a0and heat waste. In addition, 36% of students said they avoided using AI out of moral or ethical concerns about the technology, versus 28% of Workers. Some Gen Zers want to abstain from AI use because they worry about AI plagiarizing or stealing work made by people. When it comes to practical applications, 37% of students and 26% of Workers said they\u2019d avoided AI because it isn\u2019t accurate or useful.\u00a0Using AI can sometimes create more work, experts say or lead to a kind of mental strain and fatigue researchers have called \u201cbrain fry.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\"><strong>To Continue Reading This labor News Report, Go To: 65% of workers have avoided AI for moral, environmental, other reasons: CNBC survey<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.wnylabortoday.com\/news\/2026\/05\/15\/labor-news-from-washington-d.c.\/cnbc-survey-shows-65-of-workers-have-avoided-using-artificial-intelligence-for-moral-environmental-privacy-or-other-reasons\/\">Source<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>CNBC Survey Shows 65% Of Workers Have Avoided Using Artificial Intelligence For Moral, Environmental, Privacy&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":246803,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/www.wnylabortoday.com\/clientuploads\/AI_Word_Salad.png","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[16],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-246801","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-privacy"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/246801"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=246801"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/246801\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":246805,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/246801\/revisions\/246805"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/246803"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=246801"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=246801"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=246801"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
