Artificial intelligence (AI) training is becoming a key differentiating factor for success and satisfaction in the workplace, according to Unlocking the AI Gates, a recent report from The Adaptavist Group, a collection of diverse technology companies making businesses work better. According to the survey of 4,000 knowledge workers across the U.S., UK, Germany, and Canada, 47% of those with 20 hours or more of training annually are saving at least 11 hours a week by using AI, equivalent to 1.4 working days for the average full-time employee. Of this figure, 14% said they are saving more than 30 hours or nearly four full working days. For those who received less than an hour of AI training, just 7% said they are saving more than 11 hours a week, while a majority (58%) are saving less than three hours.
In addition, 53% of those with more than 20 hours of AI training said AI had significantly increased their job satisfaction, versus 8% of those who received an hour of AI training or less.
Company size seems to be playing a role in the amount of AI training employees receive. Some 24% of small businesses (1 to 50 staff members) have had no AI training at all in the last 12 months, and 56% have had less than three hours of it. Comparatively, just 12% of large organizations (5,000-plus staff members) have received no training, whereas the majority (64%) received more than three hours. Overall, one-third (35%) of workers said they wanted more AI training but were afraid to ask for it.
