Every company is about to face the same choice: adapt to AI or get left behind. It’ll start small: automating reports, communication and workflows. Very quickly agents will outnumber people. When that happens, the ones who thrive won’t be the best workers. They’ll be the best…
We are opening up a new role at Quora: a single engineer who will use AI to automate manual work across the company and increase employee productivity. I will work closely with this person.
