- Pluralsight Survey reveals that 77% of workers admit that they have claimed that they know more about the AI than they do
- Many workers plan to use AI to be lazy, in particular leaders
- 93% of employees fear losing their jobs against AI
Nine in 10 British technology workers (91%) claim to be warned, but three quarters (77%) admit that they pretend to be more known about the AI than they really do, said new research.
The results of Pluralalsugnt are at a critical time for many organizations, 86% of British companies using or providing for using AI and 93% of accelerated AI initiatives in the past six months.
However, popular false ideas around technology continue to seduce businesses, preventing the effective deployment and use of AI.
The false ideas of AI lead to a lack of transparency from AI
Pluralsight found that two in three workers (59%) claim that the use of AI is considered to be lazy, going to three out of four (73%) at the C-Suite level.
Consequently, almost a third (31%) hide their use of AI due to the fear of judgment and two -thirds (65%) observed colleagues using AI without admitting it, highlighting the need for more ethical directives of the use of AI and coherent strategies.
“Without a clear understanding of the good ways to use AI, British companies risk wasted investments, ineffectiveness and even security threats,” said Chris McClellan, the Office of Pluralsight Chief Technology.
“The use of AI at work does not consist in cutting the corners. When used correctly, it is a way to increase efficiency and relieve talented workers in routine tasks,” added McClellan.
More broadly, a considerable majority (93%) of workers still fear that IA tools can replace their work, even if 44% of companies have in fact added more roles due to the growth of the AI and an additional 87% have said that they have probably replaced or outsourced roles simply to combat the difference in IA skills.
Stressing how important it is for workers to overthrow the AI, the Pluralsight study revealed that only 6% do not take into account the skills in AI during hiring, with 94% agreeing that staying up to date with AI skills is the best way to ensure a job.
“The key to technology workers is not to resist AI; it is a question of looking at upgrade. The employees who learn proactively to work alongside AI will be those who shape the future of the workplace, not being replaced by this,” concluded McClellan.
