Study: 82% of GCC Employees Use AI Weekly

A new study by Al-Futtaim reveals that 82% of professionals in the GCC use AI weekly, yet only 39% feel highly confident in their abilities. The findings indicate that employees who received AI training are 2.5 times more likely to feel confident, with 73% reporting improved productivity. This highlights the critical role of training in enhancing workforce efficiency. The study points to an AI Readiness Paradox, where adoption outpaces workforce capability. Organizations with a clear AI strategy report higher employee confidence and clearer role-specific guidance.
