Team in an AI meeting There’s an assumption that people are anxious about AI because of job loss. But what they fear isn’t the technology itself, it’s the silence around it. They’re waiting for clarity you don’t always have time to articulate. And that silence creates pressure on both sides: you’re trying to move forward; they’re trying to understand where they fit. Employee fear of AI rarely comes from the technology itself, it comes from unclear communication, shifting expe
