Axios - AI is deepening divisions between corporate leaders and workers...  Executives are pushing AI as an inevitable revolution, but many workers aren't buying it.

 Even execs who believe their AI integration is proceeding smoothly are handing down policies and tools to a frustrated and fearful workforce.

 Employees are both fearful of being replaced by AI and frustrated over its performance, Writer CEO May Habib tells Axios.

  • Around half of employees say AI-generated information is inaccurate, confusing and biased.
  • Yet many workers believe AI is going to change their jobs so much that they're no longer going to have a job.

🦃 Asking those employees to embrace AI is like "asking a turkey to vote for Thanksgiving," Habib tells Axios.

  • Execs are often so far removed from the actual implementation of AI that they don't see or understand this fear and resistance, Habib adds.   Go deeper.
