But our recent SalesTech report highlighted that there is a divide in opinion when it comes to AI adoption, with just 47% of Brits and 55% of Americans currently using AI in the workplace. Moreover, this trend also transcends into people’s personal lives with 62% of Brits and 64% of Americans using AI for non-work-related tasks.

For customer-facing employees, particularly those who deal with high volumes of complaints, there is value in technology in automating mundane tasks, for example, research, administrative, and record maintenance activities.

Our research highlighted that both in the UK and US, data automation was viewed the most worthwhile use of AI technology, with 53% believing it would directly benefit their organisation. […]
