Vice's headline highly misrepresents the statistic in the body of the article. Body says 41% of employers are looking to use AI to replace [some?] jobs. Doesn't say all jobs under those employers. Even if 41% of employers wanted to replace all the jobs under them, that still doesn't mean 41% of all jobs are getting replaced.

Imagine a world in which there's only 100 companies. The largest 59 companies each employ one thousand people. The smallest 41 companies each employ one person. All of those bottom 41 companies replace all of their employees with AI. The world now has 59,000 employed people, and 41 unemployed individuals. 0.069% of people are then unemployed, not 41%.

And of course employers will claim they're replacing workers in a survey, in order to send the message to their employees that they're replacable and shouldn't be too confident in salary negotiations.
