The new global study, in partnership with The Upwork Research Institute, interviewed 2,500 global C-suite executives, full-time employees and freelancers. Results show that the optimistic expectations about AI's impact are not aligning with the reality faced by many employees. The study identifies a disconnect between the high expectations of managers and the actual experiences of employees using AI.
Despite 96% of C-suite executives expecting AI to boost productivity, the study reveals that, 77% of employees using AI say it has added to their workload and created challenges in achieving the expected productivity gains. Not only is AI increasing the workloads of full-time employees, it’s hampering productivity and contributing to employee burnout.
That is training, not use. You are being dishonest.
And what is the usage?
It's not research?
Any examples of what they're doing to exploit us with it?
Most places I've seen are trying to find ways to incorporate AI to help check for errors and reduce time on tasks.
It's not like AI is the cause of being exploited either. But it does assist me when I'm studying for a new role. Building a resume and upskilling on my own time.
And look I'm aware I'm taking AI side. I know most companies would fire anyone and replace them with a machine if they could. But I'm still better off with this technology if it leads to better medicine or gives us access to things that was unreachable or difficult to access in the past. It's a two way street. But it's like people on my street keep putting up barriers trying to make everyone take the long route
If it's one thing in life that I can't believe others just don't see is how the rich embrace things that the rest reject and often the thing is what contributes to the success of the rich. They're embracing it for a reason. It's a forxEe multiplier. It reduces workloads. Why the hell are we acting like it's some great sin. We should be fighting to keep it from them and for us instead of the other way around
I'm not really following. I thought you were saying it was about exploiting workers. Now it's about trump. I really can't think of what this small group would accomplish that they don't already accomplish by hiring quants to their 500 year old think tank. Difference with AI is we now have our own force multiplier threatening their power.
Partially why I think media is driving us to be so against AI.
I see the same articles for AI as I do with any other propaganda like this it all has a familiar smell. My gut is telling me these small groups of powerful people do not want us to embrace AI
That's because the truth sucks and your brain is rejecting it in defense of your mental health.
There's one. What else?
