Episode notes
Shadow AI Is The New Shadow IT
- Vague AI policies drive a hidden "shadow AI" culture where employees use tools but hide it.
- This creates trust gaps, inconsistent workflows, and hidden risks that leaders underestimate.
Normalize AI With Guardrails And Training
- Normalize open AI use with clear guardrails, training, and psychological safety.
- Provide tools and norms so employees innovate transparently instead of building dangerous informal systems.
AI Fluency Becomes A Performance Signal
- Meta will rate employees partly on AI-driven impact and provide AI assistants for reviews.
- This raises the performance bar by rewarding those who orchestrate AI, reshaping job expectations.
