Companies are rapidly adopting AI, but a new report warns that 79% expect to incur an "AI debt"β€”the future cost of fixing problems caused by a rushed and sloppy implementation. This poor execution is already creating AI-generated "workslop," useless content that looks good but lacks substance, costing companies millions in lost productivity as employees spend extra time fixing it.

Despite surging AI adoption, employees are experiencing higher digital burnout, largely because companies are failing to provide the necessary training and clear use cases for how to effectively use these new tools. To avoid these pitfalls, experts advise against treating AI as a "magical silver bullet," recommending instead a more calculated strategy of piloting and testing before a full rollout.
