As artificial intelligence chatbots like ChatGPT take hold of the workplace, employers and employees alike are questioning the future of business — namely, whether AI will serve as a tool for workers or their replacement.
AI software company Beautiful.ai surveyed 3,000 managers across the U.S. about their perception and implementation of AI technology in the workplace. Notably, 66% of managers say they would gladly replace employees with AI tools if AI could produce comparable work. And while AI is not advanced enough to replace human labor, this survey result points to the pressure managers may feel in the face of inflation, layoffs and a looming recession, explains Sam Radbil, a research strategist at Beautiful.ai.
