- HP study claims that workers are increasingly embracing AI
- AI helps workers to save time by removing boring tasks
- It apparently also helps with balance between working life and life
Some workers claim that AI tools are becoming more and more useful for not only doing their jobs but improving their balance between working life and life, new research has claimed.
A HP study found nearly three -quarters (72%) of employees using AI say it saves them time each week, one of ten claims they save more than five hours a week.
Almost a quarter (23%) also claims that AI has made their job more fulfilling, with workers who are able to spend less time on boring repeated tasks, and instead focus on what they actually enjoy in their work.
AI in the workplace
The study also found that AI could possibly help business owners with some of their most urgent problems.
One in three business leaders says the use of AI has already delivered more than 11% in cost savings, with almost half saying it helps reduce time spent on admin tasks, and just over a third (34%) says it has improved decision making and strategic planning.
The benefits may be getting clearer for businesses, yet the study added that many companies are still working on their AI strategy, with over a neighborhood that says their business currently has no formal AI strategy in place.
However, appetite seems to be there as almost half (44%) expect AI to be fully embedded by 2027.
Just over half (54%) of business leaders noted that they would be more likely to adopt AI if it was built into devices such as AI PCs where employees agreed, with 29%to say they would use AI more if it was embedded in tools they already use or do not need an internet connection (10%).
“AI is no longer a ‘nice to have’ – it’s a business imperative,” said Neil Sawyer, HP’s CEO of northwestern Europe.
“Companies that do not act now risk falling behind their competitors, losing productivity and missing out on the efficiency that AI already provides. By embedding AI directly in safe, familiar units, organizations can overcome trust and usability challenges – and scale adoption with confidence.”
