London:
Great Britain could win 400 billion pounds ($ 533 billion) of AI-driven growth if it would train its workforce, Google said, after a pilot schedule in the UK demonstrated that employees could save more than 120 hours a year by using AI in administrative tasks.
Simple steps such as giving employees permission to use AI and a few hours of training to start them up, can help to double the acceptance of the new technology, and in turn to stimulate economic growth, Google said in a report on his pilot schedule, published on Friday.
The American tech giant, who developed the Gemini Ai -Chatbot, said that, according to analysis of the public, first in the scheme, two -thirds of the employees -in particular older women with a lower social -economic background -had never used generative AI at work.
Debbie Weinstein, Europe from Google, President from the East and Africa, said that the AI Works pilots – executed in a small business network, educational trusts and a trade union – showed employees who could save on average 122 hours a year by using AI in administrative tasks.
But a barrier that kept some of them to immerse a toe in the water was a concern that the use of AI in their work was not legitimate nor fair.
“People wanted” permission to ask, “Weinstein said in an interview.” “Is it okay that I do this?” And so it was really important to give them that reassurance. “
Once they started, a few hours of AI training resulted in building their self -confidence that they used twice as much with the technology, she said, and they still used it a few months later.
These simple interventions helped to limit the AI adoptive gap among the participants in the pilot studies, said Google in his AI Works report.
Before training, for example, only 17% of women over 55 used in their cohorts ai weekly and only 9% per day.
Three months later, 56% used it weekly and 29% had made it a daily habit.
