India Leads: 46% of Workers are Advanced AI Users: Study

Bengaluru, November 20, 2024 – Atlassian, a global leader in team collaboration and productivity software, has launched its latest research report, the AI Collaboration Index. The report highlights that nearly half (46%) of Indian knowledge workers are advanced users of AI, significantly outpacing their counterparts in regions such as the US (34%), Germany (32%), France (26%), and Australia (23%).

The report, commissioned by Atlassian’s Teamwork Lab, surveyed 5,000 knowledge workers across India, the US, Australia, Germany, and France. It outlines four stages of AI collaboration – from basic adoption as a simple tool (stage 1) to advanced usage as a strategic partner and decision-making advisor (stage 4).

Even at the earliest stages of AI adoption, Indian knowledge workers are experiencing significant productivity gains. In India, those using AI as a simple tool (stage 1) report saving an average of 104 minutes per day, compared to the global average of around 45 minutes. This jumps to a whopping 127 minutes per day for strategic AI collaborators (stage 4), equivalent to more than an extra workday each week.

Jamil Valliani, Head of Product (AI), Atlassian said, “To unlock the full potential of AI, it is not enough for companies to simply deploy AI tools. They also need to give their employees room to experiment. At Atlassian, we have provided AI tools and LLMs in a secure environment to enable this. Employees have been able to use these building blocks to create AI solutions tailored to their team’s needs, accelerating adoption. All that is needed is a little time and willingness to experiment. Teams should feel encouraged and empowered to integrate AI as a strategic partner in their work.”

Additional Key Findings from India:

  • AI Mindset: As workers progress in AI maturity, the benefits of their investment become increasingly evident. An impressive 92% of strategic AI collaborators (stages 3 and 4) report that the time they dedicate to learning and using AI has been well worth it.
  • Effectiveness & Work Quality: Strategic AI collaborators not only complete tasks faster but also achieve higher-quality results. According to the research, 96% of these advanced users see a marked improvement in their work quality through co-creation with AI.
  • Leadership’s Role: Leadership plays a pivotal role in fostering AI adoption. Indian organizations that encourage experimentation and provide a safe space for employees to explore AI without fear of failure see better outcomes. Among advanced AI users, 87% credit their leadership for creating an environment that supports innovation and experimentation with AI tools.

While most research that focuses on AI adoption, Atlassian’s AI Collaboration Index goes further, exploring how people perceive AI’s role in the workplace and its transformative impact on how we work. The report emphasizes the need for a mindset shift to unlock AI’s full potential – transitioning from seeing AI as just a tool to embracing it as a collaborative teammate, capable of driving innovation. This shift is crucial for Indian organizations to fully capitalize on AI’s opportunities.
