<p>I spent an hour with <a href='https://www.linkedin.com/in/dianawudavid'>Diana Wu David</a>, a top 10 global futurist who advises Fortune 500s on what's next. She told me 95% of workers see value in using AI, but they don't trust their companies to ensure positive outcomes for them.</p> <p>So people automate parts of their job in secret. They become what Diana calls "secret cyborgs."</p> <p>We've created an environment where being more productive is something you have to hide.
