AI isn’t sweeping across the workforce the way the hype promised — but something far more important is happening beneath the surface. Gallup’s newest national Workforce Study reveals a surprising shift: AI adoption has stalled, but AI mastery is accelerating. A small group of power users is pulling ahead while the rest of the workforce stands still.

In this episode of Your Transformation Station, Gregory Favazza (@ytsthepodcast) breaks down the latest Gallup data to uncover what’s really happening inside American organizations. You’ll learn:



Why nearly half of U.S. workers still never use AI




Why daily and frequent AI use continues to rise




How leaders use AI 2× more than their teams




Why remote‑capable roles are adopting AI at double the rate of on‑site workers




Which industries are accelerating — and which are falling behind




What employees actually use AI for (hint: it’s not coding)




The #1 barrier stopping organizations from wider adoption
