My colleagues are selling AI snake oil to non-tech bosses; what do I do?

- Gather all the evidence facts and/or observations broken down as such

- Present said evidence to leaders showing how it may harm the company and/or make them look bad if this may be the case.

- Exclude unverifiable observations, opinions and emotion. WWSD What Would Spock Do

- Present the verifiable information in an email audit trail then go about your day moving onto the next task without dwelling on the issue and without discussing it with coworkers.


This is good advice, especially the final point: fire and forget, don't bang on about it ...

Thanks for this one, I'm going to remember it forever!
