How Employees Feel About AI in the Workplace

Four out of five employees see significant opportunity for artificial intelligence (AI) to create a more engaging and empowering workplace experience, yet employees admit a lack of transparency from their employers is a primary driver of fear and concern. This is according to a worldwide survey of nearly 3,000 employees across eight nations conducted by The Workforce Institute at Kronos Incorporated. "The Engaging Opportunity: Working Smarter with AI" survey conducted with Coleman Parkes Research explores how employees – both hourly and salaried from a variety of industries in Australia, Canada, France, Germany, Mexico, New Zealand, the United Kingdom and the U.S. – believe emerging technologies should be used to improve the future of work. Employees around the world say they will embrace AI to make work easier and fairer. A lack of communication leaves employees feeling apprehensive.
