Artificial intelligence is entering everyday work faster than organizations are developing the knowledge, judgment, and management practices needed to use it effectively.
Employees are experimenting with tools, often without clear standards for quality, verification, or appropriate use. Meanwhile, managers are being asked to evaluate productivity, approve tools, and assess results without necessarily understanding how the work is being produced.
Usage is increasing, but that doesn’t establish whether the work is improving, whether employees are developing sound judgment, or whether the organization is prepared to manage the changes.
In summary:
- Employees are using AI. Confidence is low.
- Managers are being asked to evaluate work they may not fully understand.
- Organizations often lack clear standards and support for effective adoption.
