Adoption Isn’t a Metric of Success:
The Hidden Human Story Behind AI Transformation
New multi-country, cross-industry data from Fractional Insights reveals a paradox reshaping the modern workplace: employees are adopting AI — but many are doing so under pressure, anxiety, and threat and it is derailing the value to organizations.
As AI integration accelerates, leaders are celebrating rising adoption rates. But beneath the surface, a quieter reality is emerging. Our upcoming insight brief - The Adoption-Angst Paradox, uncovers what’s really driving (and derailing) human adoption of AI across Europe and the U.S.
Key Findings:
Based on thousands of survey responses analyzed through Fractional Insights’ Psychological Ergonomics™ framework, this research explores how:
1 in 3 employees are “Silent Resisters” — using AI every day while feeling anxious, overworked, or undervalued.
Adoption ≠ Acceptance — rising usage often masks growing emotional fatigue and hidden resistance.
The real success factors — trust, clarity, and enablement — not just technology rollout or training.
A new playbook for leaders — how to design AI transformation that empowers, rather than pressures, people.
