The developed world is increasingly forcing people to use incompetently designed technology. The #digitalTransformation movement is being forced onto people.

Just like we cannot rely on the public sector to solve the climate crisis, we also cannot rely on the public sector to deploy well-designed privacy-respecting inclusive technology. We always need an analog option.

The concept of "sabotage" here appears to include simply refusing to use AI.

If by "sabotaging" they mean "have not found a way to make it useful", then I am included in the 29% as well

From the article:

The sabotage entails entering proprietary information into public AI tools, or using unapproved AI tools. Some employees report outright refusing to use AI tools. Others have even admitted to tampering with performance reviews or intentionally generating low-output work to make AI appear less effective.

So, I'd say, almost yes.

This report comes from some no name company that also happens to be selling the same snake oil that the report is about. Just downvote this garbage and move on. Its been posted before and people called it out there too. Like i dont doubt that people are sabotaging AI and i would love if it were completely true, but this report just shouldnt be trusted.

Yeah I work for a credit union pushing AI to process loan applications and replace training for retail staff.

It's so obvious that this is a terrible idea and yet everyone acts like you're being a doomer if you say something so I just don't use it because I know it'll fuck up.
