Workers Hiding AI Productivity Hacks from Bosses: Wharton Professor Suggests Companies Encourage Sharing

Workers who use artificial intelligence (AI) to boost their personal productivity are hiding their tactics from their employers out of fear, according to a management professor at the Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania. Ethan Mollick advised firms to tempt workers to share their methods rather than forbidding the use of AI. He argued that AI is still an efficient tool for boosting personal productivity and added that workers are already using the technology to juggle multiple jobs. Mollick also suggested that firms offer incentives such as shorter working days to encourage staff to share their productivity secrets.
