Should promotion depend on how workers use AI?
More companies are tying career progression to AI use: is that fair?

It's in Duncan Trevithick's interest to be good at using AI at work - if he can use it to get more tasks done, faster, he'll qualify for a bonus at the end of the year.
"The uncomfortable interpretation is that employees are being assessed on how effectively they can participate in their own redundancy," says Spain-based Trevithick, 34, who works in marketing for an AI training data company.
But if he uses AI to take care of two days worth of work each week, he says the financial rewards don't add up.
She adds: "If you're not visibly using AI, you see slower promotion timelines. It's harder to be seen, and it's harder to fight being on that shortlist."
