study finds British consumers are overwhelmed by to-do lists and admin work 
28% of us think an AI personal assistant would take the pressure off Half of 
all adults believe AI will save them considerable time by 2030 

Samsung has revealed two in five Brits now struggle to manage their daily 
tasks as the boundaries between personal and work become increasingly 
blurred, accentuated by the continued preference for hybrid working. 

However, as productivity gets threatened, consumers are increasingly turning 
to artificial intelligence to get their jobs done  half (49%) of UK adults, 
and two-thirds (60%) of Gen Z, believe that AI will save them time on their 
day-to-day tasks by 2030. 

Be it at work or home, administrative work is proving to be the root of the 
problem, which is exactly where Samsung is hoping AI will help the most. AI 
can help tackle your life admin 

The study claims the average Brit spends 27 minutes per day on life admin, 
with the busiest individuals spending up to two hours on mundane tasks, but 
many avoid doing their admin altogether because they lack energy after work 
(31%), find tasks too tedious (33%) or have other commitments (26%). 

Worried about the deteriorating state of productivity, Samsung says more than 
a quarter (28%) of UK consumers feel they need a personal assistant to tackle 
some of the workload that gets pushed to the bottom of their lists, such as 
organizing files (13%), asking for a pay rise (11%) and learning how to use 
new software (11%).

longer just about automation, but anticipation. Knowing intuitively what you 
need, and when," noted Annika Bizon, Director of Mobile Experience, Samsung 
UK & Ireland
