The Harvard Business Review IdeaCast discusses the significant challenges businesses face regarding AI adoption. Despite four out of five corporate strategists acknowledging AI's critical role in future success, only one in five actively use it in their operations, pointing to a substantial adoption gap. Assistant Professor Julian De Freitas highlights that the unique perception of AI as more human-like contributes to resistance. This necessitates understanding psychological barriers and implementing strategies to overcome these challenges for successful AI integration in businesses.
AI has new levels of perceived human-like characteristics, impacting consumer perceptions more profoundly than past technologies, leading to unique adoption challenges.
