Gen Z’s AI Adoption Hits a Plateau as Hope Fades

The trend suggests this tech-native generation could shape AI adoption in the workforce and potentially influence hiring, even as major firms invest heavily in AI; experts say firms must address broader social impacts beyond just productivity boosts.
