Could an algorithm determine your career future? We're peering into the transformative world of AI-driven employee performance reviews, dissecting the complexities and the concerns they introduce into the workplace. This episode takes a hard look at the implications of replacing traditional performance evaluations with AI's continuous feedback loop, as highlighted by the Wall Street Journal. There's a lingering question about whether this technology could unfairly influence terminations rather than enhancing fairness and transparency. With a critical lens, we navigate the murky waters of AI transparency, the programmers behind the curtain, and the potential biases that machines could perpetuate. It's a conversation about the trust deficit between American workers and management, and how genuine employee engagement is about more than surveillance—it's about building a fundamental trust that no AI can replicate.
