Study Reveals Employees Conceal AI Use Due to Perceived Cheating

A Slack survey indicates a decline in AI enthusiasm as workers fear negative perceptions from managers.

Nearly half of employees feel using AI is akin to cheating, contributing to reluctance in disclosing AI use to managers.
Global excitement about AI has decreased, with notable declines in the U.S. and France, according to Slack's Workforce Index.
Despite high executive interest in AI investments, many workers lack adequate training, with 61% spending less than five hours learning AI tools.
Concerns persist that AI's time-saving benefits may lead to increased workloads, rather than freeing up time for meaningful tasks.
Gen Z and millennials are more likely to seek AI assistance over colleagues, potentially impacting workplace social dynamics.
