People have more trust in robots than their managers, according to the second annual artificial intelligence at Work study conducted by Oracle and Future Workplace, a research firm preparing leaders for disruptions in recruiting, development and employee engagement. The study of 8,370 employees, managers and HR leaders across 10 countries, found that artificial intelligence has changed the relationship between people and technology at work and is reshaping the role HR teams and managers need to play in attracting, retaining and developing talent. Contrary to common fears around how artificial intelligence will impact jobs, employees, managers and HR leaders across the globe are reporting increased adoption of artificial intelligence at work and many are welcoming artificial intelligence with love and optimism. Research findings are based on a global survey conducted by Savanta between July 2 to August 9, 2019. In total, 8,370 completed the survey.
