Summary
According to a Workera survey conducted in July 2026 among 1,000 employees of US companies with 5,000 or more staff, use of AI tools is rising sharply: 67.8% of employees use them at least a few days a week, up from 39.9% a year earlier. However, training remains held back by lack of time: 56.4% have no dedicated slot and 84.3% spend five hours or less a week on it. Employees remain confident in their own skills relative to AI. Workera, which runs a continuous skills assessment tool called Ambient, urges executives to set aside training time and to define AI readiness standards.
