A survey slide on how enterprises think AI will affect hiring and workflows.
- 42% expect AI to primarily augment existing human workflows.
- 53% expect a balanced mix of augmentation and automation.
- Only 1% expect AI to primarily replace human workflows.
On human-agent collaboration, the biggest share is human in the loop (48%), followed by human on the loop (31%), humans as orchestrators of systems of agents (14%), and fully autonomous agentic AI systems (6%). The chart suggests companies are still planning around supervision and augmentation rather than full replacement.
