UK workers wary of AI despite Starmer's push to increase uptake, survey finds
"A third of people do not tell their bosses about their use of AI tools amid fears their ability will be questioned if they do. Research for the Guardian has revealed that only 13% of UK adults openly discuss their use of AI with senior staff at work and close to half think of it as a tool to help people who are not very good at their jobs to get by."
"Amid widespread predictions that many workers face a fight for their jobs with AI, polling by Ipsos found that among more than 1,500 British workers aged 16 to 75, 33% said they did not discuss their use of AI to help them at work with bosses or other more senior colleagues. They were less coy with people at the same level, but a quarter of people believe co-workers will question my ability to perform my role if I share how I use AI."
"Next week's state visit to the UK by Donald Trump is expected to signal greater collaboration between the UK and Silicon Valley to make Britain an important centre of AI development. The US president is expected to be joined by Sam Altman, the co-founder of OpenAI who has signed a memorandum of understanding with the UK government to explore the deployment of advanced AI models in areas including justice, security and education."
Only 13% of UK adults openly discuss their use of AI with senior staff, and close to half view AI as a tool that helps people who struggle in their jobs. About one third of British workers do not tell bosses about AI use because they fear their ability will be questioned; a quarter expect co-workers to question their competence if they disclose AI assistance. More than half believe AI threatens social structure and 63% do not see AI as a good substitute for human interaction. UK leaders and Silicon Valley figures aim to deepen collaboration and investment in AI infrastructure and deployment.
