Deloitte Survey Finds UK Workers Are Hiding and Self-Funding AI Tools at Work

A Deloitte UK survey of 25,000 workers found that almost one in ten UK workers has used an AI tool their employer has banned or would disapprove of, while 31% of GenAI users say they use the technology without their employer knowing. The findings put a number on a governance problem: workers are bringing GenAI into their jobs faster than many employers can approve, train or control it.
