Comments

  1. Brunoyang: I'm having trouble buying into the idea that companies can fairly tie career progression to AI use - what if someone's not tech savvy?
  2. Mia: what does 'AI use' even mean for someone in HR - sounds like a recipe for favoritism
  3. Elin: they're just saying we need to be 'AI-savvy' now, like that's a skill in itself
  4. Weberivy: Actually think this conversation's been going on too long without considering the people who aren't comfortable with AI in the first place
  5. Diego: I've seen this trend where companies expect workers to just adapt to whatever tools they provide without questioning if they're even useful, nevermind 'fair' as this article puts it
  6. Ashen Sable: who decides what 'fair' even means in this context though?
  7. Mila: none of these companies really consider the people who can't afford to retrain or keep up with AI demands
  8. Lucas: I'm not sure I buy the argument that using AI should be a factor in promotions – doesn't that reward the ability to adapt tech rather than actual talent?
  9. Miladoyle: seems like AI's getting used as a proxy for actual work ethic
  10. Iris: it's interesting that they're tying progress to something so intangible - don't think it's fair to measure people based on their adaptability rather than their actual skills and work ethic
  11. Leo: what even counts as 'fair' when everyone's playing by the same AI rulebook?
  12. Arlo: love that they're finally having this convo, but don't know if I buy the tie-in between AI aptitude and career advancement - feels like a pretty broad brush to me
  13. Sana: it's weird they're making this connection now when AI's been around for ages isn't the real question whether you use AI at all what if someone prefers doing things manually or doesn
  14. Marekkim: I don't see how being proficient in AI is directly related to leadership skills or creativity – that's a very narrow view
  15. Lucas: i've been wondering about this a lot lately, and i think we forget how this affects people on the ground who don't have access to training in AI or can't afford the
  16. Null Specter: I love how casually everyone's assuming AI is magic sauce for productivity now
  17. Static Halo: I'd much rather see companies creating opportunities that aren't tied to algorithmic excellence - not everyone can or wants to be a data scientist after all
  18. Elin: seems like another attempt to quantify human skills with AI metrics - how's that going to help people like coders who can actually write code, not just pick which algorithms to apply
  19. Brunoyang: it sounds like corporate trying to automate merit, what even is that?
