Link: Shopify CEO says no new hires without proof AI can’t do the job

Shopify CEO Tobi Lütke emphasized the importance of AI in a recent memo to employees, stating that teams must justify why they can't use AI before requesting additional resources.

Lütke highlighted AI as key in reshaping work processes, noting it as the quickest transformation he's observed in his career.

The directive aligns with making "reflexive AI usage" a basic standard at Shopify, signaling a shift towards pervasive AI integration within the company.

Moreover, questions related to AI utilization will be incorporated into the company's performance and peer review assessments.
