This Saturday (19), Brazil and the world celebrate IT Professional Day. They are the ones who have always been at the forefront of adopting new technologies within companies, and with AI, it's no different.
According to aFreshworks study, a leading company in enterprise software development, 89% of IT professionals worldwide use AI at least once a month at work, making IT the department that most uses AI in the corporate environment. For the degree of comparison, Marketing is the second department that most uses technology (86%).
Check out some other stats from Freshworks’ research:
- Writing has become easier.Data analysis (59%) and content creation (56%) are the two main tasks performed by IT professionals with the help of AI.
- Differential ability.45% of workers worldwide say that nearly all new roles seek some level of AI experience — in IT departments the proportion is highest (57%).
- The more AI, the more productivity.IT departments estimate that, on average, they could save 4 hours and 55 minutes – one hour more than any other department – in a typical workweek using AI. This is equivalent to 31 days of work, in an 8-hour shift.
- Human versus robot.For 2 out of 3 IT professionals (65%), AI will never be able to fully replace human workers, but they understand that AI adoption will mean that certain people will experience immense job growth while others will fall behind.
- Does anyone know?47% of IT professionals say that other workers in their organizations use AI in their day-to-day work, but they don’t yet realize they are using it.
