"For the first time since generative AI arrived on the scene, sentiment and uptake among desk workers is starting to cool,"

Though 99% of the executives surveyed said they'll invest in AI this year (with 97% saying they feel "some level of urgency" to use the tech), employees are no longer as jazzed.

The survey found that 48% of desk workers felt uncomfortable with their manager knowing they use AI "for common workplace tasks" like messaging, writing code, brainstorming, and data analysis, citing fears of being seen as cheating and appearing lazy or less competent.

The report also predicts that Gen Z and Millenials are most comfortable using AI and are at risk of the tech "degrading social connection." Slack found that 81% of AI users ask AI tools for advice instead of a peer or friend.

Globally, the reported excitement dropped from 47% to 41%,

In contrast to the dominating narrative around AI's value at work, Slack found that employees want AI to help "refocus their time on meaningful activities, but they suspect that AI could lead to more busy work and increased workload."

-
Ironically, Slack found that skill-building and learning are the top activities that "desk workers wish AI would give them more time to focus on."
