The use of generative AI has seen a significant increase in the last six months, with 75% of global knowledge workers now utilizing this technology. A recent report from Microsoft and LinkedIn reveals that leaders are feeling the pressure to make AI use profitable, but many are struggling to develop a plan and vision to implement AI effectively in their organizations.
According to the report, 66% of leaders say they would not hire someone without AI skills, highlighting the growing importance of AI proficiency in the workforce. Additionally, 78% of AI users are bringing their own AI to work, indicating a trend towards individual adoption of AI technologies.
Users of AI report numerous benefits, including saving time, focusing on important work, being more creative, and enjoying their work more. However, there are concerns among AI users about the perception of using AI for important tasks, with 52% reluctant to admit to using AI for their most critical work.
The report also highlights the impact of AI on work-life balance, with 68% of people struggling with the pace and volume of work, and 46% feeling burned out. Despite these challenges, professionals are turning to AI for relief, with a significant increase in the use of AI technologies like Copilot and ChatGPT.
As the use of AI continues to grow, it is clear that organizations need to develop a strategic plan for implementing AI to stay competitive. With the talent shortage for key AI roles and the increasing importance of AI skills in the workforce, it is essential for leaders to prioritize AI adoption and development in their organizations.
