Could AI do half your job? 60% of GCC frontline workers think so

Sixty percent of frontline workers in the GCC believe that AI agents could perform at least half of their job responsibilities within three years. This is according to a report by Boston Consulting Group, which also found that 93% of frontline employees in the GCC use AI at least several times a week, with usage among managers and leaders even higher at 95%.

The adoption of AI is having a significant impact on the amount of time employees save, with 58% of frontline workers saying AI saves them at least eight hours each week, rising to 67% among managers and leaders. The use of AI is also changing the skills expected of workers, with 85% of frontline employees saying AI has altered the skills expected of them in their roles, and 92% of managers and leaders agreeing.

The GCC's high AI adoption rates reflect a workforce that has moved beyond experimentation into real integration, according to Robert Xu, Managing Director and Partner at BCG X, who was quoted in the Gulf News report.
