AI usage is taking off in the workplace, per new Gallup data out Monday, even as workers fear it’ll cost them their jobs. In certain industries the technology is now widespread, and the very nature of how some professionals work is changing. Those who say they’re using AI a few times a year or more at work jumped to 45% in the third quarter of the year — more than 20 points from the same time in 2024. Weekly usage rose to 23% from 12% last year. The share of workers who use AI every day is still pretty small — just 10% in the third quarter of the year. Gallup surveyed all kinds of workers. Those in so-called “knowledge jobs” have adopted AI at far higher rates than those in service sectors or more blue-collar sectors. 50% of tech workers, 33% of those in finance and 30% in professional services used AI in their role at least a few times per week. Those are much higher numbers than in retail (18%), manufacturing (18%) and health care (21%).
