Knowledge, Learning, Community

What strikes me most about this report is that while it talks a lot about attitudes and practices, it doesn't describe at all what it is like to work with AI, which it seems to me would be the main impact. And a lot of us are experiencing it, and mostly off the books. "The majority of work-related AI tool use is voluntary. As previously described in this research report, nearly all respondents (94%) indicated that they have used AI tools for work-related tasks in the past six months." What seems to me to be the most important impact isn't strategies, risks and use cases (all of which reflect the 'before times'). It's how it changes how we work. Related: the Rergister, AI adoption at work flatlined in Q4.
