Someone on here said something about usage of ai is going to be a performance metric for 2026 for everyone. Like how does this work? Anyone know yet? I did hear someone on my team today mention this but doesn’t know details.

@a2 what’s that report called? I’m not seeing anything
Leadership receives regular reports showing THAT you used an AI tool, not for WHAT purpose.
I recommend researching the environmental impacts on AI usage. Then, compare that against UHG's "Environmental, Social and Governance Center of Excellence" ESG COE. The. ESG COE Focus Areas DIRECTLY CONFLICT with AI impacts to the environment.
The contrast of the heavy AI usage push versus the image of attempting to be environmentally responsibility is a clear conflict of interest - leadership talking out of both sides of their mouths.
It's heartbreaking and makes me not want to use AI at all.
@a2 elab what specifically to search for?
Before i quit i was proud to lead my team as the lowest user of AI. That report is a badge of honor.
Last year were given non work related "fun tasks" every week because our leaders were ranked on a dashboard based their teams "AI usage" each week. One week the numbers were down from 100% and the manager was like "we really need to make sure we're all using AI". Funny because the numbers were down the exact percentage of one person and we also had one person on PTO that week. Shows you how stupid these metrics are. So in fact 100% of the people who were working that week were using AI but that wasn't good enough. It's all performative theater.
Does this mean they are going to install ChatGpt Pro or another app on our computers? Copilot isn’t going to be helpful I’m afraid. lol
@c6 100x AI!
@a2 Yes they want everyone AI-ing, and it is a performance metric.
@c2 Yeah best case scenario, leadership is aware that AI companies are struggling financially and that this isn't actually being done to drive more improvements but to help keep those companies afloat.
.. Worst case scenario, our leaders are a bunch of fools being grifted by providers of AI.
This big push to use AI in everything doesn't make sense otherwise. It's useful but not in the ways they are pretending it is.
AI companies need user adoption to stay aligned with reality. Pushing “usage” isn’t about helping users—it’s about harvesting feedback to train the builders, and can then eliminate those roles where the feedback was given!
Imagine being a leader, and being so obsessed with AI that you force everyone to use it every day. They literally don't care if you ask it a random question not even job related. They just want to take the data to shareholders to claim 'look, we're an AI company!'.
Depends on role. I am not in tech and haven’t heard about it. I use co-pilot occasionally for rewording technical and accounting speak to laypeople but that is the only work-approved tool I have. No one cares that I use it a lot for different reasons, no one cares my peers have never used it.
There is a report that lists everyone and usage. Search for it on Sparq
