Overview
- Research highlighted in the report finds productivity rises when people collaborate with AI, but benefits erode when workers feel excluded or threatened.
- Workday reports nearly 60% of employees using AI to offload repetitive tasks, freeing time for creative work and client relationships rather than cutting headcount.
- The central risk identified is skills misalignment, with the author urging continuous upskilling and AI literacy to keep pace with changing roles.
- The piece calls for transparent adoption, accountability and employee involvement so workers understand how AI affects jobs and performance evaluation.
- AI-enabled hiring tools can broaden access by focusing on skills, yet they can entrench inequality if trained on biased data without strong oversight.
