A growing number of U.S. workers now ask AI for help before reaching out to their manager.
When faced with an obvious work question:
🎯68% said they would rather ask AI than a manager
🎯 Only 4% said they would go to their manager first
🎯 When it comes to “should I know this?” questions, workers were 17x’s times more likely to confide in AI than in leadership
