Thank you! I think this is deeply subjective and I disclaimed that I’m still forming my thoughts around this.
Yes, the business justification is the cost-effective angle. But I can also see how people in the sector are almost started to be “shamed” for not using AI, and this type of incentive (“use it ot lose it, and be subject to bureaucracy”) will only lead to more of this.
Coming from a data privacy background, I guess I’m particularly allergic to anything that forces people to agree to things, that’s not consent. Also, it’ll become less and less common to see 100% human generated emails and reports. Even for functions that wouldn’t typically use AI.
I guess I’m extra alert (as a data and RespAI person) for the moment people really cannot opt out from AI use in their roles…
But I 100% accept that there isn’t an obvious connection, thanks for raising it.
The jump from “shamed” to “missing a job requirement” is pretty short, and while I don’t like that employers are forcing LLM usage (because I don’t like arbitrary monitoring of just some parts of a job), I don’t think it’s a rights violation either—they can set whatever requirements they like.

Employment very often requires agreement to many things about the job. I don’t know if it’s truly euvoluntary consent, but it is legal and binding. You can revoke consent at any point by resigning.
I do understand your discomfort that more and more jobs are perceived by employers as LLM-required. I don’t think it’s all that different from other required tools that so many jobs have.
