AI agents are one of the most spectacular trends in Silicon Valley, in which technical companies promise large productivity benefits for businesses. But do individual workers really want to use them?
New one Study The University of Stanford suggests that the answer can be yes – until they automate worldly functions and do not encroach very far on the human agency.

The title “Future of the future with AI agents”, the study determined to go beyond the promotion around the AI agents how, in fact, these devices can be practically integrated in the day-to-day routine of professionals. While previous studies have examined the impact of AI agents on specific job categories like software engineering and IT, Stanford researchers analyzed individual categories of tasks, allowing them to “get the fine, open end and relevant nature of real -world work better,” he mentioned in his report.
By that end, the researchers adopted the “activist-centered approach” by interviewing 1,500 professionals about their priorities to adopt AI agents. He also interviewed AI experts to understand the current realistic applications and boundaries of technology.
The study helps to increase previous research, showing that the effect of AI automation will vary widely depending on the nature of the work.
What did the study get?
The survey built Stanford’s researchers constructed a database, reflecting the current ideas on AI Agent Worker Outlook and Readyness Knowledge Bank, or Workbank, a database, a database.

According to the report, most of the workers are ready to embrace agents for the automation of low-time and repeated functions, “Even after reflecting the concerns of potential job loss and the enjoyment of the work.” The respondents said that they expect to focus on more attractive and important tasks, stating that a marketing mantra among big tech companies pushing AI agents reveals something about: that these systems will free workers and businesses from drugs, so they can focus on more meaningful work.
The authors also noted “important mismatch” among the tasks that AI agents are being deployed to handle – such as software development and business analysis – and tasks that activists really want to automate.
(A-assisted) future works
The study can be major implications for the future of human-AI cooperation in the workplace.
Using a metric, what they call the human agency scale (HAS), the authors found that “workers usually prefer the high levels of the human agency, which experts are technically necessary.” In other words, individuals want to maintain a certain amount of control over their work, even agents can probably make it very automatic. The authors said that this could lead to “friction” because AI becomes more powerful and omnipresent.

The report further revealed that the rise of AI automation is causing a change in human skills which is the most valuable in the workplace: Information-processing and analysis skills, writers said, writers said, writers are becoming less valuable because machines are rapidly capable of these domains, while mutual skills-“help and other’s care “-
