Artificial Intelligence (AI) adoption in workplaces is accelerating faster than employee training, leaving a large section of professionals unprepared for changing roles, according to a new report by Genius HRTech.
Roles set to change rapidly
The report, citing a PTI dispatch, reveals that 71 per cent of professionals believe their roles and responsibilities will change significantly in the coming years as AI-driven tools become mainstream. However, corporate training has not kept pace with this transformation. As many as 61 per cent said their organisations have not offered adequate guidance on using AI effectively, while only 37 per cent reported receiving proper training.
AI adoption outpaces preparedness
Based on an online survey of 1,704 professionals across sectors conducted in November 2025, the findings point to a growing gap between adoption and preparedness. While 55 per cent felt AI is being introduced out of necessity, 37 per cent believed it is driven more by trends than actual business needs.
Despite the concerns, AI usage is already widespread. Around 67 per cent of respondents said they use AI tools to simplify or automate daily tasks, underlining how deeply the technology has entered routine workflows.
Efficiency gains, but trust remains an issue
Experiences with AI remain mixed. While 69 per cent said AI has simplified work processes, 25 per cent felt it has added complexity. Trust also continues to be a challenge, with only 49 per cent saying they trust AI-generated insights without manual cross-checking. About 36 per cent said they do not trust AI outputs, while 15 per cent said trust depends on the task.
Call for balanced integration
Commenting on the findings, RP Yadav, Chairman and Managing Director of Genius HRTech, said AI is now shaping everyday workflows. He stressed that organisations must invest in clarity and training, adding that the future workplace will succeed only when human intelligence and Artificial intelligence work together.
