A new estimate puts UK workers' annual spending on generative AI tools at £958 million, with 63% of workers using them and 31% doing so without their employer's knowledge. Users report saving around 70 minutes a week, but many fear stigma around admitting use, and about half say they lack proper training. The findings highlight the rise of 'shadow AI' in workplaces.
Why now: The scale of unsanctioned workplace AI use and its productivity and compliance risks are raising concerns among employers.
