    They also delve into a BCG survey on Gen Z’s adoption of generative AI, which revealed a surprising insight: despite being digital natives, Gen Z professionals are not proficient users of Gen AI in workplaces. While 80% of Indian developers recognize its productivity benefits, only 39% use it proficiently, and just 31% of Gen Z developers are proficient adopters. The discussion underscores the role of training in improving AI adoption, as proficiency jumps from 16% to 48% with five or more targeted training sessions.
