Over Half Of Canadian Professionals Have Passed AI-Generated Work As Their Own: Salesforce
Salesforce recently released the next iteration of its Generative AI Snapshot Research Series, The Promises and Pitfalls of AI at Work, surveying 14,000 global workers, including 1,020 in Canada, revealing that despite the promises generative AI holds, a lack of defined policies around its use may be putting Canadian businesses at risk.
Key highlights from the research:
AI tools are penetrating the workplace without oversight
Over a quarter (25%) of Canadian professionals are currently using generative AI at work, and over half (58%) of these professionals are using AI without the approval of employers.
Users are engaging in ethically questionable activities with AI due to ambiguous or non-existent workplace policies
Over half of Canadians (54%) have passed off AI-generated content as their own, and another third (31%) would consider inflating AI skillsto land a role.
However, the onus isn’t entirely on employees — just under a quarter of Canadian professionals (24%) have never completed or received training on how to safely and ethically use AI at work.
Certain industries lag behind more than others — for example, 83% of Canadian employees in the professional or business services industry claim their company lacks clear policies.
In fact, over half (54%) Canadian professionals say their employer has little to no defined AI-use policies in the workplace.
