Empower AI Workers (EAIW): Worker AI Adoption, Usage, and Regional Differences

This report, Global Workers and AI: Adoption, Usage, and Regional Differences, explores the integration of artificial intelligence (AI) tools into professional workflows across different global regions, focusing on Latin America (LATAM), Japan, and the United States (USA). Through a series of in-depth interviews with freelancers and professionals in various industries, the study examines how workers in these regions adopt and use AI, the challenges they face, and the ethical and cultural considerations shaping their experiences. The findings are framed as preliminary and exploratory, reflecting a qualitative examination rather than definitive conclusions. While patterns and themes emerged from the interviews, conclusions are informed by the authors’ broader contextual and analytical insights, rather than directly derived solely from the data.
