Brits spend nearly six hours weekly babysitting AI, eroding potential gains
Brits widely use AI at work, but the Work AI Institute says the productivity gains are largely offset by 'botsitting'—an average of 5.8 hours a week spent loading context, re-prompting, and correcting outputs after 36% of sessions fail. The study warns that without operational discipline to ensure reliable results, adoption alone won't transform productivity, even as AI becomes more involved in HR decisions.
