The idea of AI-assisted work is somewhat controversial for humans. Readers of InfoWorld wanted to know where people remain critical. Smart Answers parsed our decades of human reporting to investigate.

Developers also provide the necessary organizational context that AI systems lack, which is vital for effective and efficient project development.
