AI integration accelerates in professional workflows and consumer markets
Artificial intelligence is rapidly integrating into professional workflows and consumer habits across various sectors. In the legal field, AI is being used to accelerate research, document examination, and calculations, though experts emphasize that human responsibility and technical judgment remain essential. Similarly, in accounting, a study by IOB, CFC, and Fenacon reveals that 78% of professionals use AI tools at least once a week, with 53% using them daily to increase productivity and automate repetitive tasks.
Consumer behavior is also shifting due to AI. In Brazil, 52% of consumers used ChatGPT or other AI assistants to aid purchasing decisions over the last 12 months, marking a 52% increase from the previous year. This shift is driving the rise of Generative Engine Optimization (GEO) as brands seek visibility within AI responses.
In the corporate sector, leaders are calling for workforce reskilling to keep pace with technological changes. While AI is becoming an inevitable part of business operations, experts note that human skills such as problem-solving, creativity, and leadership will become increasingly critical as automation handles more routine tasks.
