77% use AI at work, many against company guidelines
Keystone-SDA
Generated with artificial intelligence.
Three quarters of Swiss use artificial intelligence (AI) in the workplace, and half do so in violation of company directives, according to a survey by consulting firm KPMG.
But the use of the technology cannot always be described as crystal-clear. One in two respondents admit to having used AI in a way that violates company regulations, among other things by uploading sensitive company data onto public and free tools.
Some 74% do not check the results provided by AI, which can have damaging consequences, since 63% report errors at work due to the use of the new tools. More than two thirds (69%) of those questioned have also already passed off AI-generated content as their own.

However, some scepticism remains widespread. Less than half of the respondents (46% both in Switzerland and worldwide) have confidence in AI. In addition, 65% of Swiss people and 70% globally are in favour of legal regulation of the field in question.
For the research, 48,000 people in 47 countries were questioned.
