ALBAWABA - Nearly all Gen Z workers are utilizing AI tools on daily basis, according to a new Google Workspace survey conducted with The Harris Poll revealing how younger knowledge workers are driving the use of AI technologies and changing how work is done across sectors.
According to the survey, 79% of millennials (ages 28–39) and 93% of Gen Z workers (ages 22–27) use at least two AI products each week.
These tools, which include ChatGPT, Otter.ai, and DALL-E, are mostly used to help with tasks like note-taking automation, document refinement, and email composition.
86% of participants think AI may improve leadership capacities by facilitating better management practices and boosting communication, and a remarkable 98% expect substantial AI-driven developments in their sectors over the next five years.
“Rising leaders are not just exploring AI, they’re integrating it into workflows to enhance communication and focus on strategic work,” says Yulie Kwon Kim, VP of Product at Google Workspace.
However, Concerns regarding AI persist, regardless of their advantages. Gen Z, in particular, are reportedly experiencing anxieties regarding their employment security, with 62% of them anticipating that AI might replace them within the next decade. In contrast, these concerns are felt by only 6% of senior executives, Fortune reports.
While AI chatbots can assist in the automation of work and the completion of repetitive duties, such as proofreading texts or composing emails, employers such as Apple and JPMorgan Chase have implemented limitations on the utilization of ChatGPT over concerns regarding their inappropriate utilization and potential of errors.
