In my opinion, bad or troublesome processes cannot be fixed by new technology. Especially not by hyped technology like AI or Blockchain.
Now, whether or not you should make an effort to educate managers, is hard to tell. i would say it depends a lot on your relatioship with said manager, and how you think he will react to critisism. If your manager is a driving force behind th epush towards AI and blockchai you already lost.
I usually did not keep my mouth shut in such instances. And long-term, I was more often right than not. In the short term, I was also more often looking for a new job than not. I would be cautious about open critisism and wait for the right moment. But I would expect that question to be very political.
