Gen Z employees are not only embracing artificial intelligence, but they’re also driving adoption of the technology in many workplaces, a new survey showed.
Nearly two-thirds of younger employees are actively helping older colleagues in adopting and learning to use AI tools, according to a June poll of over 2,000 professionals across the United States and the United Kingdom by hybrid workspace operator International Workplace Group.
“This support often takes different forms from hands-on guidance to sharing practical tips to integrate AI into daily workflows,” founder and CEO of International Workplace Group Mark Dixon told CNBC Make It.
The knowledge exchange is reshaping collaboration. About half of the employees surveyed say AI is helping bridge generational divides.
Four in five senior directors said that the partnership with their younger colleagues allows them to focus on “higher-value tasks,” while 82% credited these innovations with unlocking new business opportunities, according to the same report by the Swiss-based company, which was published on Sept. 3.
