Business leaders’ faith in the productivity-boosting powers of AI is getting a reality check—from their own workforces. Employees say AI isn’t saving them much time in their daily work so far, and many report feeling overwhelmed by how to incorporate it into their jobs. Companies, meanwhile, are spending vast amounts on artificial intelligence, betting that the technology’s power to speed everything from sales to back-office functions will usher in a new era of efficiency and profit growth. The gulf between senior executives’ and workers’ actual experience with generative AI is vast, according to a new survey from the AI consulting firm Section of 5,000 white-collar workers.

Full survey : Over 40% of executives said AI saved them more than eight hours per week, while two-thirds of non-management staff said they saved less than two hours.
