Just under half ( 42 %) wanted a better understanding of how AI would specifically benefit them in their role , while 36 % wanted a safety net to reduce the risk that they would make mistakes .
An average of 62 % of respondents said they were likely to use AI in their current role , with a slightly larger amount ( 66 %) saying that they would welcome the idea of using AI either currently or in the future . Under three-quarters ( 70 %) of US respondents reported that they were currently likely to use AI , which is slightly more than those in the UK ( 56 %) but less than Australia ( 74 %). This shows a delta of usage as currently , only 21 % of the global workforce is using AI often , with 23 % of US and Australian workers representing the high end compared to 18 % of UK respondents .
And while employee education is globally cited as one of the largest barriers to adopting AI in the workforce ( 34 % of global respondents reported so ), US employees are the most welcoming with just 26 % cautioning that their colleagues do not have the skills required to implement and use AI , compared to 35 % of Australians and 40 % of UK respondents .
Jeremiah Stone , CTO of SnapLogic , said : “ The current business landscape is unpredictable and that puts pressure on budgets and resources – and ultimately , on employees . Using AI to automate processes and improve productivity relieves this pressure . It ’ s very encouraging to hear workers say they understand how AI can benefit them in their role , as enterprises need employee buy-in if they want to make an AI roll-out successful .” �
