Your coworker might be faking it

On Tuesdays, the Brew’s Matty Merritt brings you the news you need to make life a little easier during your 9–5, 5–9, or OOO.
There’s a good chance that at least some of your coworkers bragging about their AI capabilities would crack under the pressure of a follow-up question. In a survey of 1,000 full-time workers in the US, 48% said they exaggerate their AI usage or expertise at work at least some of the time, according to AI workplace software company Visier.
Fake it until you make it. Companies are making massive investments in AI platforms in an effort to increase productivity and instituting AI requirements, but workers might not be using the technology particularly well. Instead, many are opting for “performative AI” to protect their jobs, Visier found.
Companies may be faking it too. The survey also found that 59% of workers don’t believe or are unsure whether their employers had a plan for AI’s impact on the company.—MM
