A new Gallup survey found that 50% of US employees now use AI technology in their role, a significant increase from previous quarters. The survey also revealed a changing mood around AI adoption, with many workers softening their stance despite job security concerns.
A recent Gallup survey of 23,717 US employees found that 50% now use AI technology in their role, marking a 4% increase from the previous quarter and a 21% rise from the same period three years ago. The survey, conducted from February 4 to 19, 2026, revealed that 13% of employees use AI daily, while 28% use it a few times a week or more. Businesses are integrating AI to improve practices, with 41% of employees reporting its adoption. Workers in AI-friendly businesses reported more disruption and changes in staffing levels, as well as increased productivity. However, only 10% of employees in these organizations strongly agree that AI has transformed their work. Concerns about job elimination due to AI rose, with 18% of employees stating it's likely their job will be eliminated within five years.
