The second edition of the Google Workspace Study finds younger knowledge workers aged 22–39 treat AI as an integral element of daily operations and career growth. The study, conducted for Google by the Harris Poll and canvassing more than 1,000 U.S.-based knowledge workers, shows a clear generational split in AI adoption.

Historical patterns show youth often dictate workplace technology trajectories.
