Russians talked about the use of AI in the professional field

Artificial intelligence (AI) is rapidly entering the professional life of Russians: almost half of the respondents (48%) are already using AI tools in their work, according to a study by the Russian School of Management (RSHU). The results were reviewed by Izvestia on June 25.

According to a study by analysts, AI's popularity has almost doubled in a year — in 2024, only 27% of specialists used it.

The majority of Russians (81%) see artificial intelligence as a new career opportunity. Technology is most often used for text preparation, automation of routine tasks, and training.

According to analysts, AI has ceased to be a niche tool, it is becoming as familiar as office software.

AI is most in demand in design, marketing and IT. At the same time, 86% of respondents are either already working with such technologies or plan to start in the near future.

"The growing popularity of AI in the professional environment is a natural stage of digital transformation. It is especially significant that technologies are massively penetrating not only the technical, but also the humanitarian spheres: marketing, design, communications. This suggests that modern AI tools have really become convenient and accessible to users without special training," concluded Anastasia Borovskaya, director of the Russian School of Management.
