People were scared of the role calculators would have. Obviously different technologies, but we fear change and unknown. Some lean in and take advantage others hang back.
I work in a role that implents AI. We also openly admit some of our initiatives might fail, despite our best efforts. We find this brings down some barriers for our stakeholders, but not always. A nod in the room and smile, but be met with resistance when nobody is watching. Rightfully, there has been distrust sowed out there in the general workforce with how AI will be leveraged to augment our work, vs. completely replace it.
Thank you so much for thoughtful comment Colette. The nod and smile in the room followed by resistance when nobody is watching made me smile, hugely recognise that happening!. I think the distrust is earned honestly, people have watched enough "augmentation" talk become more like headcount reduction. I hugely respect your team openly admitting things might fail, that takes guts. The bit I keep wrestling with is how you make safety stick... what have you found works for closing that gap between the public nod and what people actually do afterwards? I'd love to learn from what you're seeing 💕

Only time will tell.
So true Charles, I've seen a few cycles of different technologies being pooh poohed hehe 🥰
