中文导读 越来越多的人在工作中使用人工智能，但谁真正从中受益？由盖洛普（Gallup）、Jobs for the Future 和 Families & Workers Fund 合作的“美国工作质量研究”在 2026 年初调查了 1.7 万多名美国劳动者，发现只有 41% 的人拥有薪酬公平、环境安全、有成长机会和话语权的“高质量工作”。每周至少使用一次 AI 的员工只占 28%，而且大学毕业生和管理者用得明显更多；在使用者中，学历更高、更年轻、收入更高的人也更常说 AI 让他们工作更快。每周使用 AI 的人中有 52% 拥有高质量工作，从不使用者只有 32%，但研究者强调这只是相关，许多人可能本来就在好岗位上，而且数据来自员工自述。文章按“现象—数据—差异—谨慎解释—新的担忧”展开，阅读时可留意 compared with、however、but 如何引出比较和转折，以及 may、suggests 如何限定结论。
正文 Many people now use artificial intelligence at work for many kinds of tasks . But a large new study from the United States suggests that the benefits of these tools are not shared equally . The workers who gain the most are often the ones who already have good jobs .
本段译文 如今，许多人在工作中用人工智能处理各种任务。但美国一项新的大型研究表明，这些工具带来的好处并没有被平等分享。获益最多的员工，往往正是那些本来就有好工作的人。
The findings come from the American Job Quality Study , a project by Gallup , Jobs for the Future and the Families and Workers Fund . In early 2026, the researchers surveyed more than 17,000 American workers . They found that only 41 percent held what the study calls “ quality jobs .” These are jobs with fair pay and benefits , safe and respectful workplaces , chances to grow , a voice in decisions and schedules that people can manage
本段译文 这些发现来自“美国工作质量研究”，这是盖洛普、Jobs for the Future 与 Families and Workers Fund 合作的项目。2026 年初，研究人员调查了 1.7 万多名美国劳动者，发现只有 41% 的人拥有研究所说的“高质量工作”。这类工作薪酬和福利公平，工作场所安全且受尊重，有成长机会，员工在决策中有发言权，工作时间安排也是人们能够应付的。
Regular use of AI is still not normal for most workers . Only 28 percent of employees said they used it at least once a week , while 54 percent said they had never used it in their role . Forty percent of college graduates used AI daily or weekly compared with 17 percent of workers without a college degree Managers were also more likely to use it than other staff . In health care support , factory production and shop sales , most workers never used it .
本段译文 对大多数劳动者来说，经常使用 AI 仍不普遍。只有 28% 的员工表示自己每周至少使用一次，而 54% 的员工说他们在岗位上从未用过。40% 的大学毕业生每天或每周使用 AI，而没有大学学位的劳动者中这一比例为 17%。管理者也比其他员工更可能使用它。在医疗辅助、工厂生产和商店销售领域，大多数员工从未使用过 AI。
Among employees who had tried AI , 63 percent said it helped them work faster , and 56 percent said it helped them find more creative solutions . However , the gains were not the same for everyone . Sixty-eight percent of users with a four-year college degree said AI made them faster , compared with 51 percent of users with a high school education or less . Users under 55 and those with higher pay reported more benefits
本段译文 在用过 AI 的员工中，63% 表示它帮助他们更快地完成工作，56% 表示它帮助他们找到更有创意的解决办法。然而，收益并非人人相同。拥有四年制大学学位的使用者中，68% 说 AI 让他们工作更快；而高中及以下学历的使用者中，这一比例为 51%。55 岁以下以及收入较高的使用者报告的收益也更多。
The study found a clear link between AI and job quality . Among weekly users , 52 percent had a quality job , compared with 32 percent of people who never used AI . But the researchers warn that this does not prove AI creates better jobs . Many of these users may already have been in good jobs before they started using the tools . The results also depend on what workers said about themselves , not on what their employers measured
本段译文 研究发现，AI 与工作质量之间存在明显关联。每周使用 AI 的人中，52% 拥有高质量工作，而从不使用 AI 的人中这一比例为 32%。但研究人员提醒，这并不能证明 AI 创造了更好的工作。许多使用者在开始使用这些工具之前，可能就已经从事着好工作。此外，结果取决于员工对自己情况的描述，而不是雇主的衡量。
There is another concern . About 31 percent of AI users said their employers had asked them to take on more work since they began using it . Meanwhile , 52 percent of all employees said they had less influence over new technology at work than they wanted . The researchers say it is important to watch whether the benefits of AI will reach more workers or stay with those who are already ahead
本段译文 还有另一个令人担心的问题。约 31% 的 AI 使用者说，自从开始使用 AI 后，雇主要求他们承担更多工作。与此同时，52% 的员工表示，他们对工作中新技术的影响力比自己希望的要小。研究人员说，重要的是要关注 AI 的好处会惠及更多劳动者，还是只停留在那些已经领先的人身上。
