Artificial intelligence is increasingly becoming part of people's working lives, whether it's for writing summaries, drafting emails or identifying key figures in a report. Young professionals in particular are adopting this technology to make their daily work lives easier and more productive.
Google Workspace recently questioned over 1,000 white-collar workers in the US, aged 22 to 39, about their use of artificial intelligence at work. Of them, 70% use this technology to write emails. After all, it's not always easy to craft a good email, the content of which is not open to misinterpretation. AI-assisted writing tools can improve the quality of professional writing, which in turn promotes internal and external communication, according to 88% of respondents.
Artificial intelligence also enables employees to work autonomously anywhere. For example, 87% of respondents are more comfortable writing long emails from their phone when using this technology, while 90% feel more confident in remote meetings, when an AI tool can take notes for them.
Overall, artificial intelligence is playing a key role in boosting young workers' confidence at work. In fact, 88% of those surveyed say AI tools give them the impetus to get started on tasks they consider daunting or complicated. This can help them cut time spent procrastinating.
More than just a productivity tool, young professionals believe that artificial intelligence has the potential to redefine managerial and collaborative practices in business. Some 86% of them believe that this technology can help leaders become better managers, while 47% consider that it can help enhance communication to improve problem-solving and facilitate better relationships.
In this respect, artificial intelligence is becoming as much a topic of conversation in the office as the weather or vacation plans. More than half of respondents willingly share their feedback and advice on its use with their colleagues.
