Artificial intelligence is transforming the business world, but many Brazilian companies still face internal resistance in adopting the technology. In other words, the human barrier is one of the main challenges for the implementation of AI in the country.
Among the advantages of using artificial intelligence are: agile and data-based decisions, increased operational efficiency, and a boost to innovation. Check out four tips from Felipe de Morais, an AI expert at Paipe Technology and Innovation, to reduce resistance (spoiler: pay attention to the last one):
Information is never too much.
Lack of awareness about what AI is and how it can benefit the company is one of the main causes of resistance. The tip is to gather employees from different sectors to explain how AI can be applied in their routines, as this clarifies doubts and shows the potential of the technology.
2. Get everyone involved.
Mobilising the team from the start of AI projects is crucial to facilitate acceptance. By actively participating, employees feel valued. People see themselves as part of the solution, which increases engagement and reduces apprehension in the face of changes.
3. Demonstrate concrete results and success stories
Showing examples of how AI can bring real benefits to the company is an effective strategy to reduce resistance. Presenting successful cases and results achieved by other organizations can convince the most skeptical about the value of the technology. By being aware of the gains, employees are more likely to support the implementation of AI.
Clarify that AI facilitates work, it does not replace anyone.
It is common to fear that AI may replace jobs, but it is essential to show that technology is here to assist and make work more efficient, not to replace the employee. On the contrary, it frees up time to create and innovate.
