Workers Are Losing Nearly a Full Day Each Week Just Babysitting AI Tools
HR Dive - Latest News·Saturday, 18 July 2026
A new report highlighted in HR Dive's weekly data roundup found that employees are spending close to a full working day every week on 'botsitting' — supervising, correcting, and managing AI tools rather than doing their actual work. The same roundup also found that companies which hired more workers saw higher revenue growth. These two data points together raise serious questions about AI's net productivity benefit.
Why It Matters
If your company has rolled out AI tools expecting productivity gains, this data suggests the reality may be more complicated — and your time may be going into managing the AI rather than benefiting from it.
