How Is AI Affecting the Everyday Workplace?

"AI is unmistakably making positive productivity inroads, with "87% of daily users reporting improved speed, quality, accuracy, and creativity because of AI." Equally important, 93 percent of daily users feel "there are ways AI could help them at work that they are not currently using." More specifically, this data shows that 66 percent of users feel AI helps them with speed, 49 percent say it improves quality, 48 percent cite better accuracy, and 46 percent say it aids creativity."

"A large number of employees-49 percent of those who have positive feelings about AI's potential-are worried it could cost them their jobs. (This is no small issue, either for the affected individuals or the broader economy.) On the productivity front, the research shows AI is significantly increasing productivity, but also notes that its "strategic potential is stuck in first gear.""

Many employees express concern about job displacement, with 49 percent of those optimistic about AI also worried it could cost them their jobs. AI is producing strong productivity gains: 87% of daily users report improved speed, quality, accuracy, and creativity; 93% see untapped AI applications. Specific improvements include 66% faster speed, 49% better quality, 48% improved accuracy, and 46% increased creativity. Generative AI raises attribution and plagiarism concerns. AI usage skews toward mundane tasks, limiting higher-level strategic applications and leaving strategic potential stuck in first gear. These trends have consequences for affected individuals and the broader economy.
