AI That Works for Workers: Survey Results How do people actually feel about artificial intelligence in the workplace?

What single commitment will your organization make in the next 60 days to close this gap and who owns it?

➡️ Entertainment/Film & TV and Design/Creative report the least training, with roughly 95% and 80% saying “no.”

➡️ Tech, consulting, and cybersecurity are better prepared, yet even leaders top out near 55–60% trained.

➡️ Low training tracks low trust, which makes adoption harder and outcomes worse.

The result is predictable: rushed rollouts, uneven skills, and avoidable risk.

🎓 THE AI TRAINING GAP IS REAL

Most workers still have no formal AI training, and the shortfall is sharpest in industries that already distrust AI. Creative and media sit at the bottom for training, while tech and consulting lead but still only reach about half to sixty percent.

YouTube video by Dwarkesh Patel The Last Human CEO

Don’t show Dwarkesh’s latest video to co-workers or your boss. Not sure they want to know what seems to be coming. It’s also a good demo of Veo 2 the Sora competitor available to many paid Google Gemini users. youtu.be/bJD1NpdMY5s?

Still seems like almost everyone is in denial. This is happening and accelerating. No one is in charge or even fully knowledgeable. We need more serious adults in the room — fast.(From Cursor co-Founder)
