Oh no … nobody foresaw this 🫣🫨🙄🥲
Companies are pulling back on AI. Turns out the tools throw errors and raise security concerns, and so far nobody can show they've made anyone faster. Firms that moved too fast say the rush hurt the quality of their work and left them with clunky workflows, so several have dropped the push for immediate transformation in favor of training people for specific roles. Even after heavy spending, executives report the expected performance gains never showed up. Some have rehired the workers they laid off and tightened the rules on how staff use the tools.
