Workers using AI tools are working up to 90 minutes more per day than non-users, according to an ActivTrak study. The average workday for non-users is around 7.6 hours, while heavy AI users work between 8.4 and 9.1 hours. The trend suggests AI may not be enhancing productivity as expected, with workers spending more time managing AI-generated content and experiencing more frequent interruptions.
