The hidden AI tax nobody is talking about but everyone feels
89% of executives say AI is making people faster, but only 6% can point to real ROI. Join Atlassian's Teamwork Lab to find out why—and what to do about it.
As AI makes individuals faster, it levies a hidden tax on the teams around them. Coordination costs climb. Context-switching is constant. And the sheer volume of AI-generated work is straining how people actually collaborate.
New research from Atlassian’s Teamwork Lab, drawn from a study of 12,000+ knowledge workers (including nearly 200 executives), finds that the majority of leaders are implementing AI strategies that overlook where the bulk of work actually happens: teams.
Join Molly Sands, future-of-work expert and Head of Atlassian’s Teamwork Lab, and David Hoang, Head of Design as they unpack those findings—then show what AI-enabled teamwork looks like in practice. Moderated by Liz Fosslien, Head of Brand Narrative, you’ll learn evidence-backed practices for integrating AI into team workflows and hear how AI is reshaping teamwork at Atlassian. You’ll leave with three concrete shifts your organization can make to move past individual productivity gains and start making teams measurably better with AI.
