There's an old saying, "in the land of the blind, the one-eyed man is king."

Here we have the opposite: In the land of the one-eyed, the blind are leading.

The blind in this case are all those executives and managers who don't understand much about AI's current potential and limitations, and so far have treated it like a magic button that will solve everything. The one-eyed are rank-and-file employees who maybe sort of know a little more about AI.
