A rinse-and-repeat headline has become popular of late: A big company praises AI efficiency as it dismisses waves of employees.
The names change, but the intent remains the same. Enterprises face internal demand to tighten the belt, combined with pressure to show a competitive edge. For many, that means increasing their usage of AI while firing staffers deemed redundant -- even though it is still early days in determining AI’s capabilities and reliability.
In this episode of the InformationWeek Podcast, Winston Astrachan, CTO of Phobio, and Saurabh Gupta, CTO of GreyOrange, present their perspectives on finding a balance between AI’s efficiency and how that affects their human staffing.
They discuss the core principles that guide their human-AI balance, including the following topics:
Whether they see AI as a means to eliminate jobs;
If they look for new hires with AI proficiency; and
Whether they're concerned that overreliance on AI could diminish the skills of staff members.

Gupta and Astrachan then put their ideals into practice in the Questionable Ideas tabletop exercise, facing off with the gremlins, goblins and kobolds that even ChatGPT apparently obsesses over.
