AI RESEARCH
Employees Secretly Using AI Tools at Work, Microsoft Study Finds
Source: Microsoft
A Microsoft and LinkedIn study reveals many employees are utilizing generative AI tools at work without their managers' knowledge or approval. The study surveyed 31,000 knowledge workers across 31 countries.
Details:
75% of respondents use generative AI at work, mostly without management's knowledge.
78% bring their own AI tools to work, rising to 80% at small/mid-sized businesses
52% are hesitant to admit using AI for core tasks, while another 53% express reluctance due to the fear of being replaceable by AI.
79 percent of executives believe AI is necessary, but 60 percent doubt their company has a clear plan for its use.
With increasing individual AI usage, companies will feel pressured to adopt official AI solutions, such as those offered by Microsoft. The company even mentions this in the study, arguing that workers bringing their own AI tools to work pose a 'threat to data security'.
