Some Amazon employees said they were still sceptical of AI tools’ utility for the bulk of their work given the risk of error. They added that the company had set a target for 80 per cent of developers to use AI for coding tasks at least once a week and was closely tracking adoption.
I don’t get these companies that are trying to force AI down people’s throats.
I really like how mine is handling this. They gave us Gemini like 6 months ago, along with about a paragraph at most saying that we must stop using AI services from unvetted providers (GPT, etc) with company or customer data, because we needed to have legal agreements in place for that.
Nobody ever mentioned it again, at all. They probably provided us with that AI because we had people using all sorts of services and it was becoming a nightmare, so they signed some contract to cover data protection requirements and said “here, use this one if you must”.
Now it’s just there. There’s zero pressure to use it. Some Google guys wanted to come over to make some presentations, some people signed up for those but they were entirely optional.
You use it if you have a use case for it, or don’t, doesn’t matter. The only metrics are the one we’ve always had - deliver good work, on time. How you do that is up to you.
In my company we use google workplace and we all have gemini pro. Im sysadmin but i would never use it since they are tracking all the prompts and could be analyzed by my company as well
