AI adoption at work flatlines in Q4, says Gallup
"That said, while AI adoption and usage were flat over the final quarter of 2025, the number of workers reporting frequent and daily usage of AI did increase. There was a three percent increase in frequent AI usage, defined as being a few times a week, and a two percent increase in daily AI usage. While greater than the overall one percent increase, those changes are still small, and it's also worth noting they comprise a vast minority of AI users overall."
"Per the responses, only 26 percent of workers are using AI frequently, and just 12 percent are using it daily. So who's jumping aboard? The results there aren't surprising either. Per Gallup, knowledge-based industries are dominating in AI usage, with the tech sector particularly fond of it - 77 percent of tech professionals report using AI in the workplace, with 57 percent doing so frequently and 31 percent using AI daily."
AI workplace adoption stalled in the fourth quarter of 2025 after earlier gains. The share of workers reporting AI use rose from 45 percent in Q3 to 46 percent in Q4. Company-reported AI adoption held at about 38 percent in Q4. Frequent AI usage increased by three percentage points to 26 percent, and daily usage rose by two points to 12 percent. Frequent and daily users remain a small minority of overall workers. Knowledge-based industries lead adoption, with tech, university, and finance professionals among the highest users. Remote-capable roles show high AI interest, with responses referencing 66 percent.
