Australian AI adoption outpaces organizational support, leading to 'botshitting'

A new report indicates that while Australian digital workers have rapidly adopted AI tools, their organizations have not kept pace with the necessary systemic changes. This rapid adoption, with 90% of workers using AI, leads to a high rate of "botshitting," where AI-assisted work is shipped without adequate review or understanding. Australian workers spend an average of 6.5 hours per week on "botsitting" tasks like correcting AI errors and providing context, a rate higher than in the UK and US. The report suggests that the slow adaptation of organizational workflows, training, and policies around AI is contributing to this issue. AI

IMPACT Highlights the critical need for organizations to develop robust policies and training to support rapid AI adoption, preventing inefficiencies and errors.
