Almost half of Gen Z employees claim their bosses simply don’t understand the true benefits of AI, a survey finds, but is more AI actually a good thing?

• Nearly half of Gen Z believe their bosses don’t understand the benefits of workplace AI
• Employees across generations agree AI should help with tasks, not act as a human replacement
• AI is expected to save Gen Z employees nearly 90 minutes per workday

A growing divide is emerging in the workplace over the role of AI, and Gen Z is increasingly at odds with their managers.

New data from a UKG and Harris Poll survey reveals that 49% of Gen Z employees believe their bosses simply do not understand the real benefits of artificial intelligence.

The findings reveal a potential disconnect between younger employees, who are often teaching themselves how to use AI tools, and older leaders who may be hesitant or unsure about adopting new technologies at scale.
