Nearly half of employees would be uncomfortable revealing AI use to managers
While some companies create top-down initiatives to encourage the use of AI, many employees are reluctant to share their AI use: 48% of survey participants said they would be uncomfortable telling their managers they use AI. They feared a perception of AI use as cheating, a resource of the less competent, or laziness.

Notably, Slack asked participants whether they would be uncomfortable sharing their AI use with their manager, not whether they are uncomfortable using AI at all. Survey-takers who are comfortable sharing that they use AI at work are likelier to use it. Still, the underlying fears reflect on both the technology and company culture.
