Human Judgment Is the Real AI Upgrade in the Workplace
A Smartsheet survey finds AI anxiety spans Gen X to Gen Z, but the bigger risk is losing hard-won expertise as veteran professionals retire. AI is powerful only when humans teach, debug, and tailor it—providing judgment, context, and pattern recognition. Success hinges on deliberate knowledge transfer, unified data foundations, and knowledge graphs; without these, organizations risk deploying AI that sounds plausible but is wrong, trapping them in a deployment trap rather than achieving sustained, high-value work.
