68% of Employees Are Using ChatGPT Without Telling Their Bosses

The easy interface of Chat GPT coupled with its superior functionality meant that it was only a matter of time before people started to use it to get various basic tasks down throughout their work day. Back in January, it was found that 27% of workers had already started used Chat GPT in such a manner, and with all of that having been said and now out of the way it is important to note that this proportion has increased to 43% in just one month.

Chat GPT is likely not the only chatbot that is preferred by workers around the world, but in spite of the fact that this is the case it probably is the most popular by a large margin due to how much buzz it has generated. It has already managed to become the fastest growing app of all time, and the manner in which it can be used in professional contexts has likely played quite a tremendous role in that trend.

An interesting thing that can be seen in various surveys is that over two thirds of employees are not telling their managers or superiors that they are using Chat GPT. According to a recent survey conducted by Fishbowl, as many as 68% of workers who are using Chat GPT or other AI chatbots have not told their bosses that they are doing so.

That might be a problem because of the fact that this is the sort of thing that could potentially end up exposing workers to penalties once their bosses wisen up to what is going on. Alternatively, Chat GPT could be officially accepted as a part of workplace culture, since it can definitely make a lot of tasks such as copywriting and drafting emails a great deal easier than might have been the case otherwise.

Microsoft is planning to incorporate Chat GPT into Bing, which indicates that the AI revolution is more or less fully underway with all things having been considered and taken into account. It will be interesting to see where things go from here with AI chatbots and the like.
