To move up the corporate ladder at Amazon’s smart-home businesses, employees will now have to show AI use and those in management positions will have to prove they are accomplishing “more with less” using the technology..
A Ring spokesperson confirmed the promotion initiative in a statement to Fortune. Siminoff’s rule, however, only applies to RBKS employees, not Amazon at large.
In his email, Siminoff outlined that employees seeking a promotion would now have to describe how they have used generative AI or other AI tools to improve operational efficiency or customer experience. Employees will also be asked to provide examples of AI projects they’ve worked on and these projects’ outcomes.
For managers, Siminoff wrote that they would need to demonstrate how they’ve used AI to accomplish “more with less,” while reducing or not expanding headcount.
