Hong Kong workers fear AI-driven disruption to retirement but only 20% feel prepared: survey



More than half of Hong Kong’s working adults believe artificial intelligence will make their retirement path more unpredictable than previous generations, yet only one in five feel financially prepared for the shift, according to a survey by global asset manager T. Rowe Price.

About 55 per cent of the 1,004 Hong Kong residents surveyed, all aged 30 and above earning at least HK$15,000 (US$2,239) per month, expect AI-driven disruption to destabilise their long-term career and income trajectories.

Uncertainty was most pronounced among workers aged 30 to 39, with 61 per cent anticipating a rockier road to retirement, the survey found.

“Retirement is becoming less of a single point in time and more of a journey,” said Raymond Chan, head of Greater China intermediary distribution at T. Rowe Price.
