A 2026 survey by the University of Konstanz found workplace AI adoption remains slow, informal, and uneven, with only 38% of employees using AI in their work, a slight increase from the previous year. Usage is often employee-driven rather than strategically managed, with disparities across occupational groups, education levels, and organizational size, leading to uneven benefits and risks. The study highlights the need for clearer company policies, AI training, and support—particularly for small businesses and less-educated workers—to address these inequalities and facilitate a more systematic AI integration.
