Among 400 Pakistani university students, stronger fear of being replaced by AI was associated with higher anxiety and career insecurity and with lower life satisfaction.

How to verify without trusting this page
Fetch the canonical text of any version from /api/record/TRV-2026-1514 and hash it yourself — for example shasum -a 256 on the saved canonical field. The result must equal content_hash, and each version’s text ends with prev:followed by the prior version’s hash (version 1 chains to 64 zeros). If a single character of any version had been altered since certification, the chain would not reproduce.
