The new global study, in partnership with The Upwork Research Institute, interviewed 2,500 global C-suite executives, full-time employees and freelancers. Results show that the optimistic expectations about AI’s impact are not aligning with the reality faced by many employees. The study identifies a disconnect between the high expectations of managers and the actual experiences of employees using AI.

Despite 96% of C-suite executives expecting AI to boost productivity, the study reveals that, 77% of employees using AI say it has added to their workload and created challenges in achieving the expected productivity gains. Not only is AI increasing the workloads of full-time employees, it’s hampering productivity and contributing to employee burnout.

    The trick is to be the one scamming your management with AI.

    “The model is still training…”

    “We will solve this <unsolvable problem> with Machine Learning”

    “The performance is great on my machine but we still need to optimize it for mobile devices”

    Ever since my fortune 200 employer did a push for AI, I haven’t worked a day in a week.
