- Most workers now use AI in some capacity at work, report find
- Leaders expect that they may need to control AI agents in the future
- Continuous training holes continue to tease non-leaders disproportionately
New Snaplogical data has not only quantified the widespread use of AI in the workplace, but how they are perceived by managers.
Four out of five (81%) workers now use AI tools in their roles, and more than half (57%) use AI agents regularly to save time, but workers still have their concerns and it’s not just about their job security.
Many are simply concerned that they will be perceived as lazy or unreliable (43%), where others feel judged or other guessed when using AI (24%).
Workers care about using AI at work
Although workers are obviously concerned about how they are perceived, most of the AI and their colleagues rely to do the same job of the same quality. Still, more than half (52%) of respondents, including senior leaders, believe they are more likely to manage AI agents than people in their future careers. Three out of five (61%) even think that the control of agents would be easier than controlling people.
On the flip side, almost half (46%) of workers believed that they could be managed by an AI agent in the future.
The study is proof that – despite evidence that human workers remain integrated into work and projections that jobs will only develop (not wiped out) – employees still have their concerns about job security.
“The future of work is not about replacing people, but instead use AI as a partner to strengthen what is unique human: strategy, insight and innovation,” explained Snaplogic Director of Project Marketing Dominic Wellington.
Meanwhile, a continuous training gap and talent shortage continues to torment companies that want to go all-in on AI. Almost one in three (36%) has formal AI training, with more than half (54%) claiming to be self-taught by sample and errors.
This is even more clear among junior workers, with 70% of leaders claiming to be very safe compared to 33% of non-leaders.
“This is a critical moment for organizations to think carefully about implementing the technology to ensure confidence across the workforce and realize the greatest business value,” Wellington added.
