AI promises productivity, but for managers, it’s mostly a headache for now

Key points

• More than half of senior leaders say AI has made it harder to evaluate employee work, according to a survey of 1,700 directors and managers across seven countries. The survey was commissioned by work-management company Monday.com.
• Managers say polished AI-assisted output makes it difficult to tell how much came from staff. Many managers also use AI to inform decisions or draft performance reviews, which researchers warn could add bias.
• Managers report more software tools, growing supervision of AI agents, and worries about losing control over them.
