Cognizant published a workplace AI adoption study identifying an 'Activation Gap' between employee willingness to use AI and what their jobs allow, with 80% of employees saying they want to use AI more than their roles permit. The research estimates a uniform 5% increase in global labor productivity could add roughly $6 trillion to world GDP, and frames context-specific AI tooling and training as the path to capturing that value.
