Can employees learn to trust an AI boss?

More than 80 % of organizations expand their use of artificial intelligence agents, according to a new report issued by Fortune 500 Workday (daily financial sponsor). Although 75 % of workers are comfortable to cooperate with artificial intelligence agents, only 30 % are comfortable to manage them by one. The research finds that the employees are happy to use artificial intelligence agents as tools, but they do not look at them as a decision maker who must answer them.

Nearly half (48 %) of respondents feel anxious that artificial intelligence agents will increase the pressure on employees to work faster. The results are based on a survey that included 2950 of the full -time decision -makers and software implementation leaders throughout North America, APAC and EMEA.

Confidence appears to be the elephant in the room. More than 25 % of the respondents believe that artificial intelligence agents are lucky.

“Confidence building means being intended to use artificial intelligence and keep people in the center of every decision,” according to Cathy FM, the deputy head of artificial intelligence on the day of work.

Research found that confidence in agents rises with increased use: only 36 % of those who explore artificial intelligence factors who trust their organizations for responsibility, compared to 95 % between those who exceed the adoption curve.

The work day report highlights the importance of maintaining human accountability at the AI decision -making center. At the Fortune Brainstorm Ai Singapore Conference last month, Sapna Chadha, Vice President of Southeast Asia and South Asia advised in Google that agents platforms must clear the procedures clearly and request the user’s approval at the main decision points.

“You will not want to get a system that can do so completely without a person in the episode,” Chadh said.

Workday Research also revealed that as the industry faces a shortage of CPAS and financial professionals, 76 % of financing workers believe that artificial intelligence agents will help fill the gap, and only 12 % are concerned about job loss. The higher uses of artificial intelligence agents include prediction and balanced financing (32 %), financial reports (32 %), and fraud detection (30 %). Gen Z is particularly optimistic – 70 % interested in working for companies that invest in artificial intelligence agents.

The report recommends the following to leaders: refining performance through human ingenuity, determining the priorities of tools and training, and design roles that open the purpose – not just productivity.

Will the employees ever be comfortable calling the agent of artificial intelligence their president? In my opinion, when it comes to Amnesty International, never less.

happy vacation.
