AI disgust | Employee dislike of AI is as great as the morning commute

The Luddites would have had something to say about this one. Change is always a thorn in the side of those who like things done just as they are, and this certainly rings true with new findings revealing that artificial intelligence (AI) tools are not saving workers any time and have become as unpopular as the commute to the office.

The survey by training provider Multiverse just tips into the majority (52%) of employees saying that it either does not save time or adds more time to their work. Of course, AI is very new and many workers particularly, customer service assistants, content marketers, data analysts, programmers, coders, and anyone that performs repetitive and routine tasks may of course be running scared that it is after their jobs but it’s more-deep seated than that.

Industrial revolutions come around with the advent of technology. The first was the movement of industry based upon agriculture and handicrafts to machine manufacturing and advances in technologically enabled changes. Now we are in the thrusts of AI taking over many process-based jobs, meaning that for some its onset makes us both redundant and suspicious.

The nay-sayers

It’s a process of acceptance as with any rite of passage or big change. It is a compare and contrast, that for many is a transitionary place which they need to inhabit before they learn to either embrace the change or live alongside it.
