How do I learn about AI when I am uncomfortable with parts of it?
Learning how something works doesn't mean you endorse every way it might be used. In his summit conversation, Ice-T described accepting that technology is changing while staying uneasy about its effects. That gives anyone who's uncomfortable with parts of AI a workable place to start.
Try one task you want to understand in an approved environment, with information you're allowed to use. Then write down what the tool helped with, what you had to correct and what you wouldn't hand over.
Keep your objections specific. Concern about replacing a performer's voice is a different matter from concern about a summary that misses a deadline, and they call for different decisions even though both involve AI.
Take a concrete example into the conversation with your team. You might support help with a first draft and oppose automatic release. You might want a demonstration before anyone considers access to customer information.
Your position can change as the evidence does. You can get more capable with a tool and more selective about its use at the same time. Enthusiast and skeptic are labels you can skip.
