C003 — Claim Definition¶


Research	R0031 — Plural Voice Claims Blind
Run	2026-03-27
Claim	C003

Claim as Received¶

57% of workers hide their AI use at work (attributed to KPMG/University of Melbourne study of over 48,000 workers across 47 countries).

Claim as Clarified¶

The claim asserts that 57% of employees conceal their AI usage at work, from the same KPMG/Melbourne study used in C001. The claim says "48,000 workers" but the study surveyed the general public — 48,000+ people, of whom a subset were employees.

BLUF¶

Confirmed. The KPMG press release explicitly states 57% of employees hide their AI use and present AI-generated work as their own. The attribution is correct.

Scope¶

Domain: Workplace AI usage behavior
Timeframe: November 2024 to January 2025
Testability: Direct verification against KPMG/Melbourne published materials

Assessment Summary¶

Probability: Almost certain (95-99%)

Confidence: High

Hypothesis outcome: H1 prevails — the claim matches the source exactly.
