Brits Welcome Artificial Intelligence in the Workplace

Artificial Intelligence (AI) has the potential to transform the world as we know it, but it's a hotly debated topic. However, new research commissioned by UC EXPO, Europe's largest unified communications and collaboration (UC&C) event, has uncovered that 85% of UK residents want AI to support at least part of their current job. Almost half of these individuals (44%) want AI technology to do all of their job, leaving them to simply manage the AI system. Despite 20% of Brits associating AI with the end of the world, it's a technology which is increasingly involved in our working lives. This uptake of AI technology is likely to be in the form of virtual assistants – 33% of the UK public believe that this will be the main use for AI in the workplace.
