Models got better. Context windows grew. Tools multiplied. None of it matters if your people still treat AI like a personal hack instead of an enterprise resource.
77% of employees fear AI will take their jobs. 68% want their employer to adopt more AI. The gap isn't training — it's that nobody has told them what their new role actually is.
