Employees Say They Spend More Time Managing AI Than Producing Work

As AI adoption accelerates in the workplace, employees are spending an increasing amount of time managing, reviewing and validating AI-generated work rather than simply completing tasks themselves. The research suggests that while AI can improve efficiency, it also introduces new responsibilities around oversight, quality control and accuracy, creating a growing layer of "AI management" work for employees.

This evolution highlights how organizations are moving from AI experimentation to implementation, creating opportunities for technology providers, training organizations, consultants and workforce development programs that can help employees use AI more effectively while maintaining productivity and trust.
