Report: Workers with “implanted chip” likely to have labor advantage by 2035

by Karen Faulkner, Worthy News Correspondent

(Worthy News) – The American software company Citrix Systems announced last month that 54% of employers believe people with “implanted chips” will have a “labor market advantage” by 2035, Zero Hedge reports.

In its report called “Work 2035,” Citrix also said that 48% of professional people would be willing to have a chip implant if it would “significantly improve” their employment performance and remuneration. “By 2035 some workers will have taken technology augmentation a step further, choosing to be enhanced with implanted chips,” the Citrix report said.

However, while 77% of business “leaders” said chip implants would improve employee performance and productivity by 2035, only 43% of workers were in agreement with this view, Zero Hedge reports.

On its website, Citrix confirmed: “Seventy-seven percent of all surveyed professionals believe that by 2035, AI (Artificial Intelligence) will significantly speed up their decision-making process. A majority of respondents agree that in the future, tech interfaces will increase human productivity and performance.” The Citrix report asserts that technology “seamlessly improves” the performance of workers, who “enjoy more meaningful work.”

Nevertheless, Citrix concedes workers would be allowing their data, their “most valuable asset,” to be “monitored and controlled” by their employer. Some employers offer bonuses for rights to their employee’s data: Workers would have to decide whether accepting an offered bonus is worth the loss of privacy.
