Refusing AI at work could put your job at risk

According to the report, 29% of employees, including 44% of Gen Zs, are sabotaging their company’s AI strategy in at least one way.

This includes entering proprietary information into a public tool, using non-approved AI tools, refusing to use AI tools or outputs, ignoring guidelines on AI, or opting out of training.

“A few even admit to tampering with performance metrics or intentionally generating low-quality outputs, to make AI appear less effective,” the report read.

This employee “sabotage” is just one of the major challenges CEOs face with AI adoption, challenges they admit could cost them their jobs.

Other challenges that CEOs recognise include lagging ROI, strategy gaps, internal tensions, and the rise of a two-tier workplace.
