Executives envision a future where employees leverage the time saved for learning, skill development, and innovative initiatives. However, Singaporean workers are more inclined to use the time to tackle existing core projects and administrative duties.
Although 52% of Singaporean workers leverage artificial intelligence (AI) in their roles, 45% are apprehensive about admitting this to their superiors. This reluctance stems from concerns that acknowledging AI usage might be seen as a sign of incompetence, laziness, or even dishonesty.
The new Workforce Index by Slack also reveals a misalignment between leadership and employee perceptions of how AI-driven time savings should be utilised.
