Description:
Artificial intelligence is only used by 4% of workers on a daily basis.

FULL STORY
======================================================================

New research from 3M has shown that despite the buzz around Artificial 
Intelligence, the vast majority of workers don't use AI often, with only 4% 
using it daily. 

Most people have tested it out, with 84% of us having used AI at some point, 
but only 27% report using it a few times a month, and a further 24% only 
using AI once a month or less. 

The consensus on AI seems to be hopeful, but evidence suggests that the 
technology is not there yet. Whilst 77% of people believe AI will transform 
our world, studies show most people dont trust it, and are less likely to 
engage with products that use the technology. Untapped potential 

 Almost half of us (48%) think the implementation of AI will lead to faster 
analysis and data processing, with 40% believing it will handle menial tasks 
and could free up time for workers to focus on other tasks. 

Most believe it will play a big role in the future, with 61% expecting AI 
will complete 50% of their work in the next 10 years, but 80% of UK adults 
believe AI needs to be heavily regulated. 

The gap between the perceived potential of AI and its current capabilities is 
significant, and most businesses feel unprepared and under equipped to 
implement the tech. 

Global Digital Automation & Innovation Senior Manager at 3M, Paul Cardno 
confirms, If were to unlock this in the day-to-day, we need to dispel the 
fear that AI will replace jobs. Instead, we need to assure employees that AI 
will work alongside them to help productivity with daily tasks, while 
providing thorough training so that they feel confident with new AI tools, 
instead of fearful. 

Whilst the AI takeover may seem inevitable, the vast majority (80%) of 
projects fail , largely due to a gap in expectations and capabilities of the 
technology. Research shows that over eagerness has led to a tendency to 
overestimate its ability and use AI as a fix-all to problems it cannot solve.
