The AI Revolution: Enhancing Productivity at Work

Productivity is a crucial aspect of any organisation’s success. In the US, it has grown at a mere 1.4% rate overall between 2005 and 2023. However, the advent of AI and other emerging technologies is set to change the game.

According to a recent survey by Tech.co, over half of businesses (56%) report high productivity levels. But what’s driving this productivity boom? The answer lies in the use of AI and collaboration tools.

The most commonly used AI tool is ChatGPT, with 65% of businesses reporting its use. The efficiencies offered by AI could even enable a 4-day workweek at companies, a fascinating insight from the report.
