Should workplaces discourage over-reliance on AI tools?

Workplaces are increasingly using AI tools such as "Large Language Models" to support tasks such as writing, analysis, and decision-making.

Supporters say AI can improve efficiency and reduce routine workloads.

Concerns have emerged that over-reliance may weaken core skills and critical thinking.

There are also risks linked to errors, bias, and lack of human oversight.

Some organisations have faced problems when AI outputs were used uncritically, such as West Midlands Police in the United Kingdom, when deciding whether to prevent Maccabi Tel Aviv supporters from attending a football match.

Questions remain about accountability and responsible use.

This has led to debate over whether employers should discourage excessive dependence on AI tools.
