More than 40 Percent of Employees Are Using AI at Work

Gallup poll also finds that 15% of employees believe they are likely to be replaced by AI, automation or robots.

AI is rapidly becoming an integral part of the US workplace. More than 40 percent of US employees are using AI at least a few times a year at work, and that rate is nearly double what it was two years ago, according to a new Gallup poll.

The poll asked participants how often they used artificial intelligence in their work role. In 2023, 21 percent of US employees reported using AI at least a few times per year. That number has risen to 40 percent in the latest polling by Gallup.

According to the research, use of AI has actually slightly decreased among blue-collar workers over the past two years. Nine percent reported using AI a few times per week or more, down from 10 percent in 2023. That figure is triple for white-collar workers — 27 percent.

Gallup found that the industries with the most frequent AI use are technology (50%), professional services (34%) and finance (32%).

AI is increasingly becoming vital to the US workplace, but it remains to be seen how well companies and corporations integrate it into their operations. A report by multinational strategy and management consulting firm McKinsey & Co. said that whereas 92 percent of companies plan to increase their AI investments, a scant 1 percent have deployed AI so that it is «fully integrated into workflows and drives substantial business outcomes.»

Other notable findings in the Gallup poll include:

15% of employees believe they are likely to be replaced by AI, automation or robots.
22% said their organization has communicated a clear strategy for integrating AI.
Only 16% strongly agree that their organization’s AI tools are useful in their work.
