Corporate America is rapidly pushing employees to use AI tools, making AI adoption a key performance indicator despite little evidence of productivity gains so far.

Why it matters: Employees must adopt and showcase AI usage to avoid career risks amid increasing workplace pressure.

Stunning stat: AI spending surged to $13.8 billion in 2024, over six times the amount spent in 2023.

No material impact yet: Over 80% of companies report generative AI investments have not improved their bottom line as of early 2025.

Commenters say: Many view AI hype as driven by investor and corporate pressure rather than actual technological advancement or benefit.
