Send us a textIn this episode, I’m tackling a controversial topic—employees secretly using AI at work. A recent LinkedIn and Microsoft report found that 75% of knowledge workers use AI at work, yet over half of them don’t tell their bosses for fear of being seen as replaceable, while others just want to get their work done faster.The BBC also wrote an article on the topic and spoke to both employers and employees.
