A Gallup workforce survey found roughly one-quarter of employed adults use AI at least a few times a week, with about 12% using it daily. Adoption is concentrated in technology roles: six in 10 tech workers report frequent AI use and nearly three in 10 use it daily. Finance and professional services also show elevated AI uptake. The data signals immediate pressure on higher education to expand AI literacies across majors and to rethink assessment, placement and career-preparation services. Universities will face growing demand for coursework that pairs technical AI skills with ethical, legal and domain-specific training.
