A new global survey of desk workers by Slack’s Workforce Lab finds that two-thirds of workers have still not tried AI tools and 93% do not consider AI outputs completely trustworthy for work-related tasks. The research reveals an AI gender gap emerging, which is the largest among Gen Z. While young people are the most likely to have experimented with AI tools, Gen Z men are 25% more likely to have tried AI tools compared to Gen Z women. The study sets out the PET plan – permission, education, and training – for leaders to encourage greater uptake in workplace AI.
