Are we measuring AI adoption the wrong way entirely? The real shift in AI isn’t happening at the organizational level; it’s happening with individuals. Employees are already experimenting, testing, and figuring out how AI fits into their work, often ahead of formal strategy or governance. Josh LeBlanc-Shulman from Salt River Project explains why employee-led experimentation, integration, and human connection, not top-down rollout, are what actually drive AI adoption forward.
Topics Covered:
• AI usage vs real productivity
• Shadow AI and experimentation
• New AI operating models
• Integration challenges
• Employee experience and collaboration
• The future of work with AI
