A new survey reveals that 45% of CEOs report their employees are resistant or downright hostile toward artificial intelligence initiatives. The disconnect is striking: while executives enthusiastically embrace AI as a productivity powerhouse, workers view it with suspicion—fearing job displacement and questioning whether the technology actually makes their lives easier.
The tension reflects a classic corporate miscommunication. CEOs see efficiency gains and competitive advantages, while employees wonder if they’re training their own replacements. Some workers report that poorly implemented AI tools create more work, not less, leading to frustration rather than the promised liberation from mundane tasks.
