Imagine AI picking who gets promoted at your job. Should it just suggest or decide?

Hey everyone, imagine logging into work and finding out an AI system just picked who gets promoted, based on your emails, typing speed, or based on performance or even how often you check news sites.
Sounds wild, right? But a recent survey shows 60% of managers already use AI for stuff like raises and promotions. It could cut out human bias, but what if it misses the real story behind your hard work?
Should AI just suggest options, or actually decide? Like, assist with data but let humans call the shots? Or go full auto?

Stepping back, this feels like a half-step, not a full move and that’s where people will push back

At this point, the main issue seems to be how this is handled That’s the key detail here. Could be wrong, but that’s how it comes across.

At this point, the framing does a lot of heavy lifting here and that’s where it gets complicated Feels like there’s more coming here. Could be wrong, but that’s how it comes across.

At this point, there’s a gap between the message and the outcome and that’s what people are responding to That’s the key detail here. At least from my perspective.

If we’re being honest, this feels more about execution than intent which makes the reaction pretty predictable That’s what makes this interesting.
