How workers are unlocking new ways of working

New research indicates that the division of tasks and access to AI tools are crucial for workers. Activities outside typical job descriptions are becoming regular parts of how workers use AI, potentially broadening jobs even if titles remain unchanged. Observations of 6,200 workers from April to July showed that cross-occupation tasks increased from 13.1% to 25.9% of occupation-specific AI activity, suggesting workers are integrating AI assistance into workflows rather than just experimenting. Further insights are available in the AI Jobs Transition Framework.

This research uniquely quantifies the shift in AI usage, showing cross-occupation tasks increasing from 13.1% to 25.9% between April and July, unlike other reports that only speculate on AI's impact.
