An independent survey commissioned by Kordia and conducted by Perceptive revealed that more than half of New Zealand's Gen Z employees are using generative AI tools, but only one-fifth are aware of the associated risks. Experts emphasize that business leaders need to enhance their AI knowledge to ensure employees understand the appropriate use of generative AI and its potential risks. Generative AI tools can easily produce misinformation, leading to misleading information campaigns, so businesses must use them wisely and protect sensitive data. The survey results show that New Zealanders of all ages have a limited understanding of the issues surrounding generative AI tools.
