Despite 96% of C-suite executives expecting AI to boost productivity, employees say it has increased their workload, hampered productivity and caused job burnout, research shows.

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.

    This is the stupidest shit ive seen yet.

    We dont care about other data centers as much because we get a service in return that people want.

    Most people didnt ask for or want AI, didnt agree to its costs, and now have to deal with it potentially taking their jobs.

    But go ahead and keep posting idiotic and selfish posts about how you like it so much and its so fun and cool, look at my shitty song lyrics that make no fucking sense!

    I’d say touch grass but the lyrics make me want to say touch instrument instead.

      Didn’t realize the world needs to create thimgs and be driving by your personal wants and needs.

      You sound like a republican complaining about immigrants.

      Media has all of you in knots.
