29% of employees admit to sabotaging their company's AI strategy

https://www.europesays.com/ai/796/

The concept of "sabotage" here appears to include simply refusing to use AI.

If by "sabotaging" they mean "have not found a way to make it useful", then I am included in the 29% as well

From the article:

The sabotage entails entering proprietary information into public AI tools, or using unapproved AI tools. Some employees report outright refusing to use AI tools. Others have even admitted to tampering with performance reviews or intentionally generating low-output work to make AI appear less effective.

So, I'd say, almost yes.

This report comes from some no name company that also happens to be selling the same snake oil that the report is about. Just downvote this garbage and move on. Its been posted before and people called it out there too. Like i dont doubt that people are sabotaging AI and i would love if it were completely true, but this report just shouldnt be trusted.

Yeah I work for a credit union pushing AI to process loan applications and replace training for retail staff.

It's so obvious that this is a terrible idea and yet everyone acts like you're being a doomer if you say something so I just don't use it because I know it'll fuck up.

AI sabotage is usually a cry for help out of fear of the future. When employees feel a threat to their stability, they naturally resist change, trying to maintain control.Overcoming this barrier helps the focus on people. I was helped by an article on https://betterme.world/articles/corporate-wellness-programs/ which talks about the importance of psychological comfort in the team. This confirms that innovations are implemented more easily where there is trust and concern for everyone's mental state.
