Anyone have links to studies that reflect poorly on AI?

I have a small collection myself that I can post after I get some sleep, but IT is pushing for more AI usage and I would like to supply them with studies showing the negative cognitive, psychological, and social impacts

It’s cute you think that facts will change their minds…

You can always have a look at Wikipedia. All the articles have a “References” section at the bottom. Those will be filled with studies, conference proceedings and news articles. For example: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Environmental_impact_of_AI

Ask the word predictor for a powerpoint presentation arguing against its use in your company.

unfortunately what you need is something that shows short-term negative economic impact. anything else is the next boss’s problem.

IT should provide you with reasons to adopt AI. It isn’t your job to show them the negatives. The entire thing is a net negative. If companies have the goal of making money, AI will end up costing them as much as human labour and deskill the workers resulting in lower productivity. If you find any studies that you don’t have access to, mention me and I’ll see if I have access (I’m a prof so free for me).
