Employees fear being labeled lazy for using artificial intelligence (AI).
New research from work management software company Asana has shown that one in four employees are concerned that their employers may view them as lazy because of their use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies.

A study of more than 4,500 workers in the US and UK reported that more than a third (36%) use AI at least once a week at work – a trend that is particularly evident in the US, where that number reaches 46%.
Mixed feelings arise amid widespread adoption of artificial intelligence worldwide, with managers even finding themselves using and preferring the use of artificial intelligence to complete their tasks.

Does artificial intelligence make you lazy?
According to Asana, about 55% of executives expect their companies to use AI for goal setting, while more than half (51%) are still willing to pay more for AI-powered tools.
AI has the power to sort through vast amounts of data that would otherwise require significant labor resources (employees, hours). Creative AI then allows employees to interact with this data to make sense of it and gain further insight.
Data analysis and administrative work are areas of business that can benefit from time-saving technology, but there is a clear disparity between the US and the UK, with American workers appearing more willing to adopt artificial intelligence.
Additionally, one in five employees believe that the use of artificial intelligence in the workplace could be a scam.
Less than a quarter of companies have policies and guidance on the use of AI technology in the workplace, while less than a fifth of employees have received adequate training on this technology.
