So says an analysis carried out by training and qualification provider The Knowledge Academy, designed to determine which technologies are most welcomed by staff.
According to the study, over a third (35%) of those surveyed cited AI and cloud services as the most beneficial, while 31% were also keen to use predictive analytics techniques such as machine learning to analyse historical data to predict future trends and ensure an organisation’s long-term success.
Less popular was augmented reality, with only 17% wanting to use it day-to-day.
In terms of benefits, British workers thought technology would lead to improved productivity (55%), closely followed by greater flexibility (54%). Indeed, rather than feeling “replaced” by AI in the workplace, nearly two-thirds (65%) of workers were willing to work alongside the technology if it led to a reduction in repetitive tasks.
Joseph Scott, marketing manager at TheKnowledgeAcademy.com, believes that the study highlights an increased awareness of cutting-edge technology and how it can be utilised when completing professional tasks.
“Technology has become an integral part of the working world. It has allowed individuals to become more efficient in the way they conduct their professional tasks and responsibilities.
"As technology develops, it will undoubtedly capture the attention of employees seeking to utilise the tools that will allow them to become more proficient at their job. This research highlights the current technology which is creating the biggest impression on British employees to regularly assist them in their working life.”
