Danes expect businesses to benefit more from AI than workers

A new survey by TrygFonden, a Danish foundation that supports safety and social initiatives, finds that Danes expect businesses to gain more from artificial intelligence than workers. Two-thirds of respondents believe AI will benefit Danish companies, while only about half as many expect employees to benefit.

Frederik Olsen, a senior analyst at Arbejderbevægelsens Erhvervsråd, an economic institute linked to the labor movement, responded to the findings. He said there is not yet any evidence that AI benefits companies more than it benefits workers. In other words, the gap is one of public expectation, and the data so far does not show it playing out that way in practice.

The source gives no further survey details, such as the sample size, the exact percentages, or how the questions were framed, and it does not report any other reactions or policy responses.

The text also contains an unrelated passage about Krokodille ApS, a company founded in Hedehusene, west of Copenhagen, in December 2021 under the name Vostok Sokol ApS. A holding company owned by Tetiana Harris Nielsen is registered as its founder. The company changed its name in March 2022 and moved its registered address from the couple's home to an address in Ringsted in October 2025, shortly before its bankruptcy. This passage does not mention AI or the survey, so it is not connected to the main story.

The survey matters because it shows how Danes see the distribution of AI's economic gains: a clear majority expect companies to come out ahead, and far fewer expect the same for workers, even as a labor-aligned analyst cautions that this unequal outcome has not been demonstrated.
