Part 7/8:
There is growing evidence pointing to AI's substantial productivity benefits. The UK government reports that AI has saved workers an average of 26 minutes per day, amounting to about two weeks annually. Similarly, a study by Microsoft Australia revealed that 40% of employees using AI tools could dedicate more time to higher-level, human-centric tasks rather than routine chores.
These benefits extend beyond the private sector to the public sphere, where AI can streamline services and improve efficiency for citizens and taxpayers alike. Such improvements translate into tangible gains, from faster administrative processes to better resource allocation.
