Episode 20 of the Bots and Bosses podcast with Jon Binks (originally aired October 25, 2025) explores why many high-level professionals are intentionally limiting or avoiding generative AI despite rapid adoption.

The show unpacks three main drivers of this quiet resistance — lack of trust and accuracy, the productivity paradox where checking AI outputs erases time savings, and privacy/control concerns around sharing sensitive inputs — and highlights a deeper desire to preserve human skill, judgment, and authorship.

It also touches on regulatory responses and argues for selective, bounded use of AI so professionals can retain agency while benefiting from the technology.
