Report Finds AI Gives Less Effective Workplace Advice to Lower-Power Employees
A Cloverleaf research report finds that AI tools provide less constructive workplace advice to employees with less power, focusing more on self-protection than relationship repair. The study highlights that AI coaching quality declines by about 40% for less powerful employees, often siding with them and portraying bosses as the problem in 60% of cases. This power dynamic influences AI responses, which tend to discourage efforts to mend workplace relationships.
