According to the results, the generative AI saves around 122 hours of work per year for professionals in several sectors while the estimate was 100 hours per year. The study also shows that a few hours training doubles the daily use of AI tools with intensive use, several months later.

Google ensures that AI boosts productivity

Last year, Google predicted that AI would generate economic growth of 400 billion sterling pounds in the United Kingdom by 2030. Except that half of this projection depends on the adoption of IA tools by employees While technology is likely to dig inequalities.

About 66 % of professionals never used generative AI at work according to the study. The group consists mainly of women aged 55 and over and people from disadvantaged socio -economic backgrounds. Fifth old women are four times less likely to use AI than men under the age of 35. And small businesses are a significant delay compared to large companies.

Before training, only 17 % of women in the group aged 55 and over used AI weekly, and 9 % daily. Three months after training, these figures increased: 56 % use it every week and 29 %, every day.

Among the obstacles, the study stresses that employees need a “Authorization to interact” with AI. Workers want its use to be allowed with a relevant and fair advantage, comparable to the Internet or a search engine.

Creating habits for learning AI is beneficial. After three months of training, many participants began to seek advice on use for themselves, view tutorials and read articles.

Despite everything, a certain hesitation persists in the face of the integration of AI into daily life, especially because of the errors. Opinions remain shared as to the future impact of AI, with a persistent fear of replacing jobs.
