The report on “hopes and fears” in the workplace involved interviews with almost 50,000 workers across 48 countries and regions, including 1,018 workers in the State. The Irish figure is up from 3 per cent last year. “AI users in Ireland see higher productivity, higher quality of work and greater creativity in their jobs,” the report noted. Overall, 49 per cent of Irish workers say their team treats failure as an opportunity to learn and grow, as against 54 per cent globally.
