The GenAI productivity revolution is here! 5+ hours a week – that’s how much time 58% of respondents saved, according to the AI@Work study by Boston Consulting Group (BCG) and BCG X.    GenAI use allows employees to save time, perform tasks faster, and improve the quality of their work.    Which raises the question: what should we do with this new productivity? Should companies do more of/with the same? Become more innovative? Or should they improve employees' work-life balance and give time back?    To learn more about our recent survey, read AI@Work report https://lnkd.in/gRWKtQs6 #GenAI #AIatWork #BCGX
