Recent survey insights reveal a notable trend among Russians: nearly one in five workers, about 19 percent, rely on artificial intelligence tools as a constant part of their daily duties. The findings were reported by RT and drawn from a nationwide survey conducted by AlfaStrakhovanie, a leading insurance and risk management organization. The data highlight how integral AI has become in professional settings and how its adoption varies across different jobs and industries. Source: AlfaStrakhovanie RT broadcast.
When asked about past experiences with AI in the workplace, 12 percent of respondents said they had used artificial intelligence at least once but did not feel satisfied with the outcomes. This suggests that while interest in AI adoption is high, there is room for improvement in tool effectiveness, user experience, and alignment with business needs. A separate segment, 26 percent of participants, reported using AI occasionally to tackle simple tasks that do not require oversight or regulatory control, underscoring a common pattern: AI is becoming a practical aid for routine, low-risk activities rather than a replacement for human judgment in complex decision making. Additionally, 11 percent of regular AI users indicated that an additional tool helped them save time and concentrate on more substantial issues, pointing to AI’s potential for productivity gains when integrated with complementary technologies.

The survey also sheds light on expectations for the future. About 37 percent of respondents believe AI applications will evolve and extend their reach, becoming more widely applicable across industries. In contrast, 38 percent expressed concerns that current AI systems lack essential human qualities such as empathy, emotional intelligence, creativity, and the ability to approach work with a truly creative mindset. These views reflect a balance between optimism about automation and a desire for AI to complement rather than replace human capabilities. Source: AlfaStrakhovanie RT broadcast.
The survey gathered responses from more than 1,300 participants, offering a cross-section of the Russian workforce. Nearly half of the respondents, 44 percent, indicated some involvement with the IT sector, highlighting technology as a central driver of AI adoption. A further 22 percent worked in entertainment, marketing, or public relations, areas where AI is increasingly used for content creation, audience analytics, and campaign optimization. Another 18 percent came from education and science, fields where AI tools support research, teaching, and data analysis. The distribution underscores that AI adoption is not limited to tech-centric roles but spans a variety of professional landscapes. Source: AlfaStrakhovanie RT broadcast.
Beyond the numbers, the survey touches on broader concerns that have persisted in Russian public discourse, including perceptions about smartphone security and privacy. These cautions shape how workers and organizations approach AI technologies, influencing choices about data handling, device management, and the deployment of AI-enabled solutions in daily operations. The findings suggest a thoughtful, measured path toward AI integration, where benefits are weighed against potential risks and ethical considerations. Source: AlfaStrakhovanie RT broadcast.
