A growing number of workers is rejecting corporate strategies of AI, with 31% of employees, and 41% of generation Z, admitting refusing to use AI tools or results, according to a new study. The desire to sabotage your company's strategy comes from the generalized fears of labor displacement and dissatisfaction with its AI tools provided by the company, according to a survey conducted by the writer who surveyed 1,600 executives and employees of C-Suite. The frustrations are so high that 35% are in the ticket due to the generative tools of AI they prefer to use at work.
Internal tensions undermine the adoption of AI
The report also highlights power struggles, bad internal alignment and friction between IT leaders and companies on how Genai should be implemented. Around two out of three executives said that Genai's adoption has created internal tension and division, with 42% warning that they are “destroying their company.”
Despite the optimism surrounding Genai's potential, 72% of C-Suite respondents said his company has faced at least an important obstacle during adoption. Meanwhile, 71% reported that AI applications are being created in a silos, “disconnected from a broader strategy and collaboration. In addition, a 95% overwhelming C of the C admitted that your company needs to improve its approach to the integration of AI.

Leaders and employees see the progress of AI differently
The survey revealed a strong division between how executives and employees perceive the implementation of AI. Only 45% of employees believe that their company has been very successful with Genai in the last year compared to 75% of executives who believe that the launch has gone well. Even so, the impulse around Genai continues to build. The report found that 88% of employees and 97% of executives have personally benefited from the use of Genai, and both groups are in a variety of use cases.
“It is not the enthusiasm that is stagnating adoption,” said May Habib, CEO and writer co -founder. “It is the lack of a real strategy, the appropriate tools to empower teams and a partner that can really make it work on scale.”
Employees that conduct solutions from within
Encouragingly, 77% of employees who use AI are “AI Champions”, individuals who help lead adoption efforts within their organizations. Almost all (98%) of AI champions have contributed to the development of AI tools at work or expressed the desire to do so.
“The future of AI in the company depends on leaders adopting a collaborative and inclusive approach,” said writer Kevin Chung's strategy to Techrepublic. “By promoting these champions and promoting a culture of innovation, organizations can navigate the challenges and completely take advantage of the transformative power of the generative AI.”
