Across all industries, 79% of respondents say they have been asked to learn at least one new skill, and 30% of managers consider judging AI output a critical responsibility. Early‑adopting firms see strong internal uptake: 88% of employee‑led AI innovations become standard practice. Training costs vary, with tech workers spending an average $1,758 (13% spend nothing), finance $1,664 (24% free), healthcare $990 (45% free) and education $883 (42% free).
