According to RNZ, a new report finds that workers in New Zealand are slow to adopt artificial intelligence. Yet some of those who do use it hide the fact from colleagues or managers.

Data in the report shows that more than a third of workers feel guilt when using AI to produce high-quality work. This points to a contradictory picture of how the technology is perceived in the workplace.

The findings feed debate over the need for employers to develop clear policies on AI use. Whether adopting transparent rules eases workers' reservations will be watched in the period ahead.
