The new global study, in partnership with The Upwork Research Institute, interviewed 2,500 global C-suite executives, full-time employees and freelancers. Results show that the optimistic expectations about AI's impact are not aligning with the reality faced by many employees. The study identifies a disconnect between the high expectations of managers and the actual experiences of employees using AI.

Despite 96% of C-suite executives expecting AI to boost productivity, the study reveals that, 77% of employees using AI say it has added to their workload and created challenges in achieving the expected productivity gains. Not only is AI increasing the workloads of full-time employees, it’s hampering productivity and contributing to employee burnout.

I'm not really following. I thought you were saying it was about exploiting workers. Now it's about trump. I really can't think of what this small group would accomplish that they don't already accomplish by hiring quants to their 500 year old think tank. Difference with AI is we now have our own force multiplier threatening their power.

Partially why I think media is driving us to be so against AI.

I see the same articles for AI as I do with any other propaganda like this it all has a familiar smell. My gut is telling me these small groups of powerful people do not want us to embrace AI

That's because the truth sucks and your brain is rejecting it in defense of your mental health.

500 year old think tank

force multiplier

There's one. What else?
