Workers are using AI to learn on the job, even though 65% worry about accuracy

"Sixty-three percent of workers said that they used AI to learn skills they didn't get formal training on from their employer. However, 65% of workers say they worry about AI's accuracy."

"Nearly one in two (46%) of workers said they used AI to seek out answers because it's faster than asking for help. Almost a third (29%) said they use AI to learn new skills without advertising they didn't know something."

"Only 7% of workers said that they feel learning skills from AI is enough and 39% said they view the training they get from AI as a starting point for further learning."

"Overall, 69% of workers said that using AI improved their productivity and over 55% said it helped them feel more confident in their jobs."

A survey of over 1,000 U.S. workers reveals that 63% use AI to learn skills not formally trained by employers. While 65% express concerns about AI's accuracy, 23% prefer AI for new learning. AI is favored for its speed, with 46% seeking quick answers. Many workers, including 32% of managers, use AI discreetly to avoid admitting gaps in knowledge. Despite its benefits, only 7% find AI training sufficient, with 39% viewing it as a starting point. Nearly half pursue further training after AI exposure, and 80% continue learning post-AI interaction.
