Head of Policy: People and Work at the British Chambers of Commerce.
95% of firms that are using AI have reported no change in their headcount, and 86% using AI report no change in the nature of the jobs they are doing. It looks more like we are seeing augmentation at the moment rather than a general transformation of the workplace.
