What do you do if your project team resists adopting AI for continuous learning and innovation?
Listen to all concerns and consider involving team members who have legitimate issues with how AI is being integrated to help develop solutions that could address those concerns. Also, be willing to consider that there are use cases where the use of AI is not a responsible solution, or even a viable one. If you find that AI doesn't fit the use case, be prepared to represent a unified and well-documented explanation to leadership about why AI might not be ready for this planned use case.
