A new study from a nonprofit artificial intelligence research center indicates that artificial intelligence is having an impact on the U.S. workforce. The study found that approximately half of American adults have used AI tools within the last week for either personal or professional purposes. The survey further suggests that for 20% of full-time employees in the United States, AI technologies have affected their job responsibilities. The specific nature of this impact, whether through task augmentation, role transformation, or other changes, was not detailed in the initial report. Researchers at the center collected data through surveys distributed across a sample of the adult American population. The organization stated that it aims to provide insights into the evolving relationship between humans and artificial intelligence.
