AI & Happiness Survey

Waarom AI je IT-team gelukkiger (of juist niet) maakt

The AI & Happiness Survey is the second edition of our research on the impact of AI on job happiness and productivity in the IT industry. Over 300 different professionals were interviewed for this report.

First large-scale industry measurement on AI & job happiness – The survey systematically maps, for the first time, how AI is perceived in terms of job happiness, ethics, skills and outlook from the eyes of tech professionals themselves.
Specifically focused on IT and tech roles – The results are from a target audience who themselves work or will work with AI. No theoretical approach, but real-world input.
Human-centered approach to AI – Whereas much AI research focuses on technology or efficiency, this survey instead zooms in on experiences, feelings and ethical considerations.

Why AI & Happiness

AI has become an integral part of our working lives. Tools such as ChatGPT and AI assistants are increasingly being used to work more productively. But what does this technology mean for our job satisfaction, autonomy and social connectedness? From our people-first philosophy, we are closely monitoring this impact. Not only the technological possibilities are important, but especially the question: will it make us happier?

Our AI & Happiness Journey

In March 2025, we shared our first AI & Happiness Journey Report: a candid account full of conversations, observations and inspiration about how AI is already impacting our work. This was followed in June by the first edition of our AI & Happiness Survey in which 322 Rockstars shared their views on AI, job happiness, skills and the future.

We combine this knowledge to help organizations implement AI in a way that fits their people and culture.
