New survey data from EY provides multiple examples on how Gen Z’s use of generative AI far outweighs their understanding of it, creating an opportunity for companies willing to upskill young talent. Though they get a bad rap in the workplace for work-life balance demands and salary expectations, Gen Z is growing in numbers across the labor force. As CFOs and their finance teams compete for strong young talent, how that talent is credentialed — especially as many hiring initiatives aim to expand applicant pools — may need fine-tuning due to the large-scale use of generative AI in the personal and professional lives of Gen Z. According to new survey data from EY, young finance team members may be using generative AI extensively while facing significant knowledge gaps around its implications in cybersecurity, hallucination tendencies and the sourcing of data used to train AI models. Nearly half (47%) of the 5,000 members of Gen Z surveyed by EY said they believed AI developers need explicit permission to use a person or organization’s data to train an AI system, one of several AI-related questions largely answered incorrectly.
