Gen Z is everything a fine get the job done

It’s now just a few clicks away from tracking it up the corporate ladder, according to new data that shows 82% of young hotshots are leaning on AI to get their work done.

A striking 88% say that using advanced technology helps them overcome “task paralysis.” It’s a disorder similar to the social media viral “functional freeze” phenomena that flare up when work tasks become too demanding.

“The future of work is here—and it’s AI-powered,” Yulie Kwon Kim, Vice President of Product at Google Workspace, said in a release.

“Leaders are not only embracing AI,” Kim continued, “they are implementing this technology in meaningful ways, from improving communication with colleagues to freeing up time for strategic work.”

And the Zs are nothing if not a generation that values ​​high-wired hacks to do less and minimize stress.

Whether it’s by tapping ChatGPT to renegotiate their salaries, or ditching traditional resumes to land jobs via “hire me” TikToks, newcomers to the workforce are constantly coming up with new ways to make life 9-to-5 easier .

The study, a November report conducted by for Google Workspace, found that the resourceful youth of Gen Z — young adults under the age of 27 — are leveraging AI to tackle fairly simple tasks like writing emails from scratch and jotting down notes during meetings .

Researchers polled over 1,000 “young executives,” newcomers to large companies between the ages of 22 and 39, to find that both Gen Zers and millennials — workers under the age of 42 — regularly use AI while on the clock.

“Ninety-three percent of young leaders who identify as Gen Z and 79% who identify as millennials use 2 or more tools on a weekly basis.”

But their reliance on digital assistance isn’t just about taking the easy way out.

“The data show how AI can help scale business-critical soft skills, such as the ability to collaborate with others, communicate effectively, lead a team and more,” study authors said.

“It not only helps individuals get work done faster and more efficiently,” they added, “but also changes how they work in meaningful ways.”
