Large Language Models (LLM) & AI Market: What 'Bringing Employees Along' in AI Transformation Means

The article argues that the common phrase “we must bring employees along” in AI transformation is often empty because organisations focus on the wrong things. Employees experience AI as a source of uncertainty and fear about job security and identity. The author identifies four critical success factors: take employees seriously (treat skepticism as experience), have leaders affirm that human expertise gains importance with AI, provide dedicated time and resources for learning (not as an extra burden), and offer clear career perspectives and appreciation for existing expertise. The piece emphasises that AI’s greatest value is unlocked through human judgment, experience and responsibility rather than pure automation.
