AI adoption in the workplace stalled in the fourth quarter of 2025, but those who have already started using it are making increased use of it, according to a survey by pollster Gallup. Don’t let that fool you into thinking AI is taking over work, tho: frequent AI users are still a tiny minority of overall workers.
Sharp increases in the workplace usage of AI throughout the year almost entirely leveled off between Q3 adn Q4 2025,Gallup reported over the weekend. The total percentage of workers using AI climbed just a single percentage point in the final three months of the year, from 45 percent in Q3 to 46 percent. Similarly, respondents noting that their company had adopted AI hovered at 38 percent in Q4 – just a single percentage point higher than Q3 adoption numbers.
Having mentioned that, while AI adoption and usage were flat over the final quarter of 2025, the number of workers reporting frequent and daily usage of AI did increase.
There was a three percent increase in frequent AI usage, defined as being a few times a week, and a two percent increase in daily AI usage. While greater than the overall one percent increase, those changes are still small, and it’s also worth noting they comprise a vast minority of AI users overall. Per the responses,only 26 percent of workers are using AI frequently,and just 12 percent are using it daily.
