My company’s CIO was pushing AI hard for a while. Annoyingly, he was pushing it while we still got regular emails from the security/legal teams saying we weren’t allowed to use it yet.

We now have access, but that CIO is also gone and we don’t hear about it much anymore. We still have the tools, and a general AI (for use outside of code) is coming, but the blind hype seems to be gone.

Maybe your leadership will shift, or come back to reality in time.

Personally, I think it’s a red flag when leaders jump on hype trains that hard. They’re so desperately trying to avoid missing the boat that they ignore common sense and risk. Not good.
