AI is a hot topic these days, especially when it comes to its role in the workplace. As major tech giants such as LinkedIn and Apple continue to integrate AI into their operations, it’s sparking a debate: Will AI enhance or disrupt the work environment?
According to the annual State of Hybrid Work Report by Owl Labs, there’s a mixed bag of opinions.

Communicating company guidelines around the use of AI is essential to building employee trust and reassuring their ‘AI anxiety’.”
