A recent Slack survey reveals declining enthusiasm for AI among desk workers, despite 99% of executives planning to invest in the technology. Global excitement dropped from 47% to 41%, particularly among U.S. workers, many of whom feel uncomfortable disclosing their AI use, fearing perceptions of incompetence. Most workers reported inadequate training, spending less than five hours learning about AI, prompting calls for companies to prioritize skill development. This sentiment reflects broader workplace changes as generative AI continues to reshape job dynamics and worker confidence.
