Tobi Lütke Wants Shopify Employees to Use AI Reflexively — Should You? with Siadhal Magos of Metaview

In this episode of HR Heretics, the hosts discuss the emerging trend of CEOs mandating AI usage within their companies, citing examples from Shopify, Box, and Duolingo. They explore the implications of this trend on headcount management, suggesting that while AI can increase leverage and efficiency, it may not necessarily lead to smaller teams, but rather a more effective workforce focused on tackling extensive backlogs. The conversation shifts to learning and development, highlighting the potential of AI-driven personal tuition and the importance of showcasing AI success stories within organizations to encourage adoption and innovation, while also acknowledging the likelihood of AI proficiency becoming a factor in performance reviews. They conclude by inviting listeners to share their experiences with AI mandates and their reactions to them. The episode also includes advertisements for Thatch and Planful.
