will displace workers , when in fact it can drive productivity and help prevent burnout for employees ,” he says .
Employee perceptions of AI are evolving , with 71 % of organisations expecting AI agents to enable automation . Steven reports : “ Trust is also improving . A majority ( 63 %) would trust AI agents to analyse and synthesise data , while half would trust it to compose work-related emails .”
Looking ahead , Steven predicts significant changes in coding practices : “ 60 % of organisations agree that , within the next three to five years , AI agents will come to generate most of the coding within organisations .
“ While our data shows that perceptions around Gen AI are changing , work still needs to be done to improve trust and to equip workers with the right skills to use AI effectively .”
Partnerships drive implementation External partnerships prove critical for implementation , particularly for smaller companies lacking internal AI development resources . Steven reports 64 % of organisations partner with IT vendors and consulting firms for AI initiatives .
“ While an individual organisation will struggle to find the full range of resources required to capitalise on Gen AI , partnerships with technology providers combine complementary capabilities and strategic knowledge to navigate the complexities of developing and deploying AI-driven solutions , kickstarting innovation and cutting down time-to-market ,” he says .
Ethical considerations remain central to deployment . “ Broad adoption of AI agents has given rise to significant ethical and social concerns around privacy , hallucinations , bias accountability , and transparency ,” Steven says . “ Businesses should stay up to date on the latest advancements in Gen AI ; consider engaging with ethical AI networks such as AI Ethics Lab to ensure safety is key ; and use the right AI models to perform specific tasks to adhere to international data-privacy guidelines and regulations .”
