The evidence is clear.

AI training matters.

Six independent studies, from PwC, KPMG, Deloitte, EY, the LSE and others, show the same thing: AI adoption has outrun the skills to use it safely. Here's what they found.

01 · AI Usage in the Workplace

AI is already everywhere, and Gen Z is using it 4× more than anyone else

AI adoption is already high across the general working population.

02 · The Error Rate in Generative AI

For complex tasks, almost half of AI's answers are wrong

AI models often generate incorrect or misleading information. The error rate climbs sharply on anything that requires reasoning.

03 · The Mistakes Being Made

Two thirds don't verify AI's work. Most know it's hurting their outputs.

Without proper verification and due diligence, AI-generated errors are slipping through the net into professional work.

0%

04 · The Lack of Visibility on AI Use

AI use is invisible, especially among the workers most likely to use it

You saw they use AI four times more. Now see what they don't tell you. AI use is happening without clear visibility, and Gen Z hide it more than anyone.

05 · Sensitive Company Information Leaks

Confidential data is leaving the building, one prompt at a time

Many individuals are inputting sensitive company information into publicly available AI systems, rather than using approved internal tools.

of enterprise employees admit to entering sensitive or high-risk information

06 · The Need and Demand for AI Management Training

The workers most exposed are the ones asking for help

The desire and requirement for structured training in responsible AI use is becoming increasingly clear, especially among Gen Z.
0%

Gen Z's success rate at critically evaluating AI outputs — the lowest of any cohort

0%

of Gen Z say generative AI skills are important for their career advancement

The data is unambiguous. The skills aren't optional.
