Gallup’s data reveals a significant number of workers ore unsure whether or not their employer had adopted AI – nearly a quarter of those surveyed weren’t sure. In the third quarter of 2025, just over a third of employees said their organisation had implemented AI. 40% said there was no adoption of AI in their place of work
It’s worth noting that earlier versions of Gallup surveys didn’t include a “don’t know” option for questions about employers’ AI adoption, which encouraged respondents to guess. Belief in organisational AI adoption appeared to rise sharply between 2024 and 2025, therefore, Gallup says. Once uncertainty could be stated explicitly, it became clear a good number of employees were simply uninformed on the matter.
It’s staff in non-managerial roles who are more likely to say they’re unaware of their organisation’s AI use, a tendency mirrored in part-time staff and hands-on roles. The further workers are from decision-making, it seems, the less sure they become.
