FULL STORY
======================================================================Atlassia
n report finds daily AI use has doubled over the past year One in three 
workers admit to using shadow (unapproved) AI Workers are saving more time, 
but AI could actually increase worker burnout 

With AI tools having quickly transitioned from experimentation to 
implementation in many workplaces, new Atlassian research has found workers 
are around one-third more productive and saving around 1.4 hours per day. 

The companys latest AI Collaboration Index found daily AI use has nearly 
doubled in a year, and the share of people calling AI useless has fallen by 
78%, however these gains arent quite translating to organizational boosts. 

Only 3% of organizations report transformational gains in organizational 
efficiency, with 2% seeing boosts in work quality and 4% noting innovation 
improvements. On the whole, most companies observe AI enhancing individual 
worker output, but teams still remain siloed and disconnected. Companies 
still arent getting the huge AI boosts they were promised 

The report found many workers arent necessarily using that saved time to 
generate more work, though. 

While 43% reinvest saved time on strategic thinking and planning and 41% use 
it for process improvement, nearly half (49%) use the time to improve their 
work-life balance. 

Companies are also battling with the use of non-approved AI in the workplace 
(shadow AI), which is both raising security risks and also worsening silos by 
having different teams and workers using different tools. Around one in three 
workers admit to using shadow AI. 

Looking ahead, Atlassian says companies should start with laying an AI-ready 
data foundation to make company data accessible before setting up clear 
systems and expectations for teams. 

However, AI use isnt without its drawbacks, as the report warns, AI will 
increase burnout unless we restructure the workday. 

With artificial intelligence removing busywork, employees will spend more 
time on cognitively demanding work. Without sufficient breaks, AI taking away 
busywork could actually cost more time. 

Atlassian says that companies should anticipate future challenges and adapt 
accordingly. You might also like SMBs are turning to AI to solve their
