Almost three in 10 Gen Z workers in high-growth sectors are using AI at work without their employer knowing, according to a new report from Imperial Lifelong Learning.
The research, published alongside the launch of Imperial College London’s new lifelong-learning division, suggests that anxiety and uncertainty around workplace AI are driving some employees to keep use of the technology secret.
The report, Everyone but me: what UK employees told us about AI and skills, examines attitudes to AI across five high-growth sectors.
“There is a risk that the skills of the workforce fall behind what it can achieve with AI.”
Heather Haseley, Chief Lifelong Learning Officer, Imperial Lifelong Learning
Haseley said higher education must provide people with ways to continually apply and redeploy knowledge as technologies and industry conditions change.
Imperial Lifelong Learning will offer courses and training intended to help professionals and organisations build the capabilities needed as new technologies reshape work.
