A call for AI leadership<\/span><\/p>\n

The verdict is in: employees are not happy with the way artificial intelligence is being percolated through their organizations and into their jobs. In fact, they even see those executives or managers leading AI as either clueless or incompetent. <\/p>\n

That\u2019s the word from a new survey by Roloff Consulting, which finds rising discontentment among the ranks when it comes to AI. Close to eight in 10 employees, 77%, describe feeling \u201cskeptical, overwhelmed, or scared\u201d with the AI activity taking place within their enterprises. <\/p>\n

Close to half, 45%, say AI has created more work, not less. \u201cAI outputs require extensive validation,\u201d the study\u2019s authors point out. “Different teams are using the tools differently, creating inconsistency and rework. And because organizations haven\u2019t redesigned workflows to meaningfully integrate AI, people are doing their original jobs plus the new AI-adjacent tasks on top.”<\/p>\n

Interestingly, there is no daylight between the feelings of executives and staff employees toward AI. Both groups are feeling pressure at exactly the same rate: 55% of respondents across both groups report urgency to adopt AI, rating it a 4 or 5 out of 5.<\/p>\n

At the same time, 71% feel their company\u2019s AI strategy is either reactive or non-existent. It appears, at least in employees\u2019 views, AI may be either leaderless or in the wrong hands. Only 7% felt their company\u2019s AI efforts were in the right hands. The majority, 61%, said \u201cthe wrong people are definitely leading it,\u201d and 33% had no idea who was leading it.<\/p>\n

\u201cRespondents weren\u2019t just expressing frustration at being excluded,\u201d the report\u2019s authors said. \u201cWhen decisions are made without the knowledge of the people closest to the work, and those decisions create more burden instead of less, trust erodes. And eroded trust is very hard to rebuild.”<\/p>\n

Training is often the best antidote for discontent and skepticism, but many business leaders don\u2019t seem have gotten the…<\/p>\n
