AI was supposed to make workers into efficiency machines, but a new survey reveals it’s actually doing the opposite.
Since OpenAI released ChatGPT in 2022, the number of AI enterprise tools has exploded, and many executives have high hopes the tools will make their workers more efficient.

Around half of the employees surveyed also said they had no idea how they will achieve the productivity gains their employers expect.
