As per the official press release, Artificial Intelligence is significantly influencing the workplace by transforming the future of work. A recent survey by UKG, a provider of HR, payroll and workforce management solutions, examines how AI has become entangled in the work lives of employees and employers. The study surveyed more than 4000 employees from 9 countries, including India, to analyse their perspectives on the evolving role of AI.  

The study reveals that in India, 72% of employees personally encounter AI-powered workplace tools, systems and processes in their organisations. They use generative AI tools like ChatGPT, OpenAI and Google Brad for their jobs and daily lives. Almost 96% of employees in India feel positive about the impact and evolution of AI in the workplace, considering it as a positive enabler. As per the studies, 73% of employees in India said that their companies use AI in the workplace, but only 47% of employees totally and 44% of employees understand how it is used to an extent.  

Sumeet Doshi, country manager of UKG India, said, “There is a clear appetite for AI in the workplace as long as employees better understand how it’s used and the benefits. Employees in India rise to the top of that sentiment with 88% wanting to be more accepting of AI while expecting their organisation to be more transparent around the use of AI. AI can be effectively leveraged to improve organisations from recruitment to day-to-day operations positively.”
