70% of office workers use ChatGPT for work almost every day: survey
More than 7 out of 10 office workers in South Korea are using the artificial intelligence chatbot ChatGPT for work on a near-daily basis, a recent report showed. Local job-search and recruiting platform Job Planet asked 762 Korean workers their views on using the AI-powered program at work.
It was found that 93.7 percent of the respondents said using ChatGPT for work was acceptable, of which 82.7 percent said they do not hide their use of the chatbot. When asked how frequently they use ChatGPT, 70.9 percent said almost every day, 14.8 percent said they do it once or twice a week, and 9.5 percent said they seldom use it.
Frequency of ChatGPT Usage
Most of the respondents (78.9 percent) said they use it frequently at work, compared to 21.1 percent who said they use it for everyday life. "Writing documents or making an abridged version" was the most frequent use for the respondents at 40.1 percent, followed by "finding ideas and information searches" (28.4 percent), and "for technical work such as writing code" (24.8 percent).
Some 91.1 percent said fluent use of AI is part of one's job capacity, indicating that many Korean workers think utilizing artificial intelligence is a mark of a good worker. Despite the recent technological advancement of AI, 57.6 percent of the respondents said they do not feel the threat of losing their job to AI.
Positive Attitudes Toward AI
Surveys consistently indicate that the overwhelming majority of office workers in South Korea are using AI and have positive attitudes toward its use in their jobs. A March survey by corporate training firm Hunet on 852 office workers showed that 88.4 percent of the respondents used AI in their work.
The respondents gave an average rating of 4.1 out of 5 points when asked how much AI aids their proficiency at work, with 35.9 percent giving the highest score of 5 points.
