The explosion of artificial intelligence has undoubtedly been one of the biggest developments in the world of technology over the past year. Whether it's ChatGPT, Google's Bard, or image generation software such as Midjourney, it seems that every week comes with a new breakthrough in the field of AI. Over the next decade, AI-powered tools are set to transform the way we work, with OpenAI stating that 80% of workers in the U.S. will have 10% or more of their daily tasks affected by artificial intelligence.

While there is some trepidation over the possibility of AI replacing jobs, with 49% of those surveyed in the Work Trend Index indicating concern about that possibility, there is even more enthusiasm over its potential to lighten workloads, as 70% said that they would delegate as much work as possible to AI tools.
