<div>Nearly half (46%) of Indian knowledge workers, among those surveyed, are now advanced users of artificial intelligence (AI), according to a report on Wednesday.&nbsp;</div>
<div>&nbsp;</div>
<div>On the advanced AI usage, Indian workers have outpaced their counterparts in regions such as the US (34%), Germany (32%), France (26%), and Australia (23%), as per the report by Atlassian, a global leader in team collaboration and productivity software.</div>
<div>&nbsp;</div>
<div>The report outlined four stages of AI collaboration - from basic adoption as a simple tool (stage 1) to advanced usage as a strategic partner and decision-making advisor (stage 4).</div>
<div>&nbsp;</div>
<div>Even at the earliest stages of AI adoption, Indian knowledge workers are experiencing significant productivity gains.</div>
<div>&nbsp;</div>
<div>In India, those using AI as a simple tool (stage 1) report saving an average of 104 minutes per day, compared to the global average of around 45 minutes, said the report.</div>
<div>&nbsp;</div>
<div>This jumps to a whopping 127 minutes per day for strategic AI collaborators (stage 4), equivalent to more than an extra workday each week.</div>
<div>&nbsp;</div>
<div>&ldquo;To unlock the full potential of AI, it is not enough for companies to simply deploy AI tools. They also need to give their employees room to experiment,&rdquo; said Jamil Valliani, Head of Product (AI), Atlassian.</div>
<div>&nbsp;</div>
<div>&ldquo;Teams should feel encouraged and empowered to integrate AI as a strategic partner in their work,&rdquo; Valliani added.</div>
<div>&nbsp;</div>
<div>As workers progress in AI maturity, the benefits of their investment become increasingly evident. An impressive 92% of strategic AI collaborators (stages 3 and 4) report that the time they dedicate to learning and using AI has been well worth it, the report mentioned.</div>
<div>&nbsp;</div>
<div>According to the research, 96% of advanced users see a marked improvement in their work quality through co-creation with AI.</div>
<div>&nbsp;</div>
<div>&ldquo;Indian organizations that encourage experimentation and provide a safe space for employees to explore AI without fear of failure see better outcomes. Among advanced AI users, 87% credit their leadership for creating an environment that supports innovation and experimentation with AI tools,&rdquo; said the report.</div>
