🦔A global survey of 3,750 executives and employees found that 54% of workers bypassed their company's AI tools in the past 30 days and completed work manually, while another 33% haven't used AI at all. Combined, eight in ten enterprise workers are avoiding or rejecting technology their employers spent an average of $54 million deploying this year. Only 9% of workers trust AI for complex business-critical decisions compared to 61% of executives. Workers lose the equivalent of 51 working days per year to technology friction, up 42% from last year, almost exactly equal to the 40-60 minutes per day Goldman Sachs says AI saves workers who use it correctly. My Take I covered the cognitive surrender research last week showing workers under time pressure accept faulty AI outputs 73% of the time. This is the other half of that story. Workers avoiding AI entirely have figured out the tool doesn't work well enough for their tasks, or haven't been given the training or incentive to make it work. Neither group is irrational. One is surrendering judgment under pressure, the other is declining to engage, and both are responses to the same problem: companies deployed the technology before figuring out what they wanted employees to do with it. The trust split between executives and workers on AI for business-critical decisions, 9% versus 61%, explains why these rollouts keep failing. Executives are buying the pitch. Workers are living with the product. Companies spending $54 million on deployments that eight in ten employees aren't using have a measurement problem as much as an adoption problem. Hedgie🤗
