Anyone else's agency trying to shove AI down your throats? Not enough money? What about AI! Not enough time? What about AI!

Execs don't know what they're doing and imo they're passing the bag (read: bomb) onto the rest of the team.

I remember at our first big allstaff about AI, the senior leadership team simply introduced the guest speaker (who would proceed to ramble incoherently at us for an hour, with content that clearly no one had vetted) before skipping the whole presentation to sequester themselves in the glass partitioned main boardroom, in full view of the whole company, where they devoured a massive sushi boat. Felt a bit like Rome burning.

LOOOLL

Yes, and apart from the odd performative high-level town hall about AI, they invest zero in meaningfully training their staff on what tools are out there that they legally allow us to use, the parameters for how we can use them, etc.

Legal counsel’s expensive? Wait until they get sued. But I’m sure to cover the penalties they’d just lay a bunch of people off. So any which way, the worker bees lose.

If I understand correctly the new President is very keen on AI.

They’re looking at LinkedIn videos from AI startups with billions of VC funding and asking us why we can’t do the same with in-house production and free trials of AI services.
