I ran into this phenomenon first had recently when working on a knowledge engineering project. The idea was to use a rule based system to enhance network troubleshooting. The "experts" who had the knowledge were very suspicious and reluctant to share their knowledge because they thought eventually they would be "replaced by a machine". But I also noticed that they were very proprietary between each other as well or others, especially people they considered "outsiders", outside of the little cabal they had set up. It was a very interesting dynamic. It reminded me very much of a sports metaphor that the most valuable players are the ones that make their teammates better. I can definitely saw the antithesis of that in play at this particular organization. I think it would be a major challenge in implementing AI in certain situations.
