Time saved by AI is wasted on manual work again… Korean companies confirm 'rework burden'
Domestic companies are experiencing constraints in generating substantive results despite reducing work hours through AI adoption, as they spend additional time correcting and verifying generated outputs. While 69% of respondents reported improved productivity following AI implementation, 31% of workers were found to spend 1-2 hours per week revising or rewriting AI-generated content. A limitation has also been identified wherein the time gained through AI is reabsorbed into existing work structures through management and review tasks, failing to translate into return on investment (ROI). Experts analyze that productivity innovation cannot be completed through technology adoption alone, and must be accompanied by structural job reorganization and enhancement of talent capabilities. #Workday
