80.16% of Spanish executives admit they do not have a manual for the ethical and responsible use of artificial intelligence (AI), although 36.54% of their companies are already developing one. Additionally, only 19.81% of leaders report having trained their employees in the proper use of these tools.
These data are collected in a survey conducted by LHH Executive Search, the Adecco Group's firm specializing in the selection, consulting, and evaluation of executives and leaders, which highlights that 37.88% of executives perceive AI as a technology that will coexist with current resources.
31.54% believe it will replace a large portion of the work currently performed by employees, 17.50% consider that it will completely transform their operating sector by creating new opportunities, and 13.08% do not foresee a significant impact of this technology in their sector.
Meanwhile, 32.12% of the surveyed company decision-makers assure that they will launch new products or services supported by AI solutions, and 30% state that they will create new jobs for AI project management and replace tasks performed by employees with new AI tools (29.62%).
At this point, Rémi Diennet, director of LHH Executive Search, notes that “it is encouraging to see how the emergence of artificial intelligence is beginning to be seen more as an opportunity than a threat. However, the vast majority of companies still do not have a protocol to support the ethical and responsible use of this innovation.”
“Here is where each company plays a crucial role in ensuring that the adoption of these new tools is aligned with the principles of sustainability and social responsibility. Only in this way can we harness the true potential of AI without jeopardizing the well-being of workers and the ethical standards of the organization,” reflects Diennet.
PRIORITIES
On the other hand, the LHH survey reported by Servimedia shows that the strategic priority for executives by the end of the year is worker productivity and performance (56.54%), followed by digital transformation (44.42%).
To a lesser extent, executives indicate other priorities, such as employees' demands for work-life balance and flexibility (29.42%), sustainability (24.42%), or team mental health (23.27%), with equality and inclusion being the least relevant priority indicated (19.23%).
Regarding employee turnover, 55.96% of the leaders surveyed state that it is not a strategic priority, as only 0.96% say it affects more than 50% of the workforce.
Furthermore, they consider the main threat to their businesses to be the economic context (55.58%), followed by a significant distance the political context (44.23%) and workforce instability (35.77%), and not so much the emergence of new technologies like AI (21.54%).
Finally, for 81.54% of the executives surveyed, technological innovation can help drive the sustainable commitment of companies. The larger the company, the higher the percentage of leaders who believe in this premise.
