There’s a Mass Rebellion Against AI in the Workplace

With consumers roundly panning generative AI slop wherever it’s found, tech companies have set their sights on a more captive audience as a source of revenue: the world’s boardrooms and cubicle farms. But the office, it turns out, is also failing to provide fertile ground for its overtures.

A new survey by the SAP-owned software company WalkMe of 3,750 executives and employees found a major discontent growing in large companies across the globe. According to the findings, 54 percent of workers reported avoiding their company’s in-house AI tools in order to complete tasks themselves. A full third of workers reported never using AI at all.
