Why employees are so secretive about using AI at work - and why they shouldn't be
Briefly

The article discusses the hidden use of AI by employees in workplaces, emphasizing that while leaders are debating AI policies, employees are already utilizing these tools without disclosure. Justin Hale from Crucial Learning highlights that this secrecy breeds a lack of collaboration and diminishes professional growth, as employees may become overly reliant on AI. However, some experts argue that employees are not hiding their use out of deceit, but rather as a means to enhance their productivity without risking any backlash from leadership.
"There is a risk that if people overuse AI for too many of their tasks, they outsource things that actually are muscles they should be working out themselves."
"Rather than me asking people's opinion on my team, I'm just going to ask AI. And so now what happens is, we don't have a collaborative team - we have a team of individuals all working collaboratively with AI."
