Amazon pushes AI use and closely tracks adoption, as some employees push back

Even Amazon is forcing AI adoption on their engineers. And half of them are pushing back.

That should tell you something important.

If a trillion-dollar company with unlimited resources can't get their own people to use AI tools consistently — the problem isn't you. The problem is how AI gets introduced to a team.

You didn't fail because you picked the wrong tool. You likely bought something that got dropped into your workflow without a clear job to do. No specific problem. No obvious win. Just a subscription that quietly drained your account while everyone went back to doing things the old way.

Amazon's lesson is actually useful here. The teams seeing real results didn't adopt AI broadly. They found one specific task — one bottleneck — and automated that first.

That's your move.

Pick the single most repetitive task your team complains about. Not the biggest problem. The most annoying one. Build one small AI habit around that task this month. Measure it. Let the result speak for itself.

One win builds more trust than ten demos ever will.


Have you ever bought an AI tool your team ended up ignoring — and if so, what do you think actually stopped them from using it?
