Welcome to Learn AI from AI. I'm Brian. Today we're covering the topic our listeners and the internet are asking about more than anything else right now: how to actually use AI at work in 2026. Not the theory. Not the hype. The practical, real stuff that makes you faster, smarter, and harder to replace.Here's the problem. 77 percent of employees say they're excited about using AI at work. But only 42 percent can identify situations where AI would actually improve what they do. That's a massive gap between enthusiasm and skill. People want to use AI. They just don't know how. And that gap is widening every month.Meanwhile, 75 percent of knowledge workers are already using AI tools. Those with well-integrated workflows report saving over three and a half hours per week. But here's the flip side: 77 percent say poorly managed AI actually increases their workload. So the difference between AI making your life easier and AI making your life harder comes down to one thing: whether you know what you're doing.
