Business leaders continue to push workers toward daily use of AI

Daily AI usage for desk workers has grown by 233% since the beginning of the year, according to Salesforce's latest Slack Workforce Index based on a survey of 5,000 desk workers globally. AI now helps to create a competitive advantage by providing 64% more productivity and 81% more job satisfaction for those who use AI versus colleagues who don't.

And the benefits of AI go far beyond task automation. Since November 2024, AI adoption among workers has risen 50%, with 60% of workers now using AI. The use of AI is now a daily habit. Adoption of digital labor is also on the rise, with 40% of workers having worked with an agent, and 23% of them have offloaded tasks to agents to complete on their behalf.
