Managers struggle to evaluate employees as AI tools reshape workflows
More than half of managers now say AI has made it harder to evaluate employee performance. That finding from a new survey should give every leader pause. The tools we adopt to accelerate work can quietly erode our ability to judge that work. This is not an argument against AI. It is an argument for new management instincts. Our related piece, "When AI Writes Code, Do You Still Own the Work," explores one dimension of that accountability gap.
When AI Writes Code, Do You Still Own the Work
We gave an AI a real test: write code, plant a bug, and see if the human who reviewed it actually owns the work. The result was humbling. I rated my confidence 4 out of 5, then failed to find the planted bug in eight minutes. CodeOwnership reveals a hard truth about accountability when AI generates your logic. For a deeper look at AI's reliability, our Python 3.15 JIT Benchmarks piece shows similar limits for targeted workloads. The tool is impressive. The limits are real.
