And how mixed people\u2019s feelings still are about it.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Four in five workers now use some kind of AI tool in their day-to-day role. More than half are using AI assistants regularly to save time. But that doesn\u2019t mean everyone\u2019s comfortable with it.<\/p>\n<p>Some employees worry they\u2019ll be seen as lazy or untrustworthy for leaning on AI. Others feel judged or second-guessed by colleagues when they do.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s a strange situation. People trust AI to help them, but they don\u2019t always trust how others will react to them using it.<\/p>\n<p>The truth is, AI is here to support people. It\u2019s important to see AI as a partner. A tool to help us focus on what we do best. To focus on strategy, creativity, and problem-solving.<\/p>\n<p>But for that to happen, people need to feel confident using it. And that\u2019s where many businesses are falling behind.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Only one in three workers have had any formal AI training. Most are figuring it out by trial and error. And that can lead to uncertainty, mistakes, and mistrust.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Managers tend to feel more confident (around 70%), but that confidence drops sharply among junior staff, where only about a third feel the same way.<\/p>\n<p>So what\u2019s the solution?&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Like many other things, it starts with culture. Business owners and managers need to create an environment where experimenting with AI is encouraged, not judged.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Show your team that using AI tools isn\u2019t cheating. It\u2019s smart working.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Give them opportunities to learn, whether through formal training, internal workshops, or simple \u201cshow and tell\u201d sessions where people share how they\u2019re using AI to make their jobs easier.<\/p>\n<p>AI confidence doesn\u2019t happen overnight. But when people feel supported and trusted they\u2019re far more likely to embrace it. That\u2019s when you start to see results, like better efficiency, more creativity, and a team that\u2019s ready for whatever the future of work brings.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Has your business embraced AI?
