Research: What employees want from AI in the workplace
Amdocs’ research reveals a workforce eager to embrace AI as a catalyst for career growth and innovation. Explore fascinating findings that challenge prevailing fears and uncover new possibilities in the AI-powered workplace.
"Rather than AI being a replacement technology, it holds great potential to act as a democratizing force in the workforce. For instance, workers can use AI to uplevel their skills, think bigger picture, and change careers on a dime as their interests and passions evolve. However, this is only possible if AI is available to all through a level playing field. Otherwise, we risk a new kind of digital divide – the AI divide, where only some are working at their true potential."
Key findings include:
AI adoption
66% of full-time workers express a desire for their employers to offer AI solutions, recognizing the transformative impact it can have on productivity and efficiency.
Empowering growth
Nearly 60% of workers aspire to harness AI technologies to fuel their own career advancement, unlocking new avenues for professional development and personal success.
Empowering growth and talent mobility
Nearly all respondents prioritize growth and talent mobility. One-third of full-time workers stated that they would consider leaving their current job if internal mobility support was lacking. However, only 45% confirmed that their current workplace offers such support.
Bias awareness
According to young adults, bias emerges as the most significant obstacle to career progression. 30% of overall respondents would want to use an AI program that automatically scans their resume and proactively matches them to open roles based on skills – not what team they are currently on. .
