Proton To ‘Re-Interview’ Staff About AI To See Who Gets To Keep Their Job: https://www.404media.co/proton-to-re-interview-staff-about-ai-to-see-who-gets-to-keep-their-job/ Seems that Proton management are saying 'swallow this massive AI pill or else'. 'Proton, the company behind ProtonMail and other privacy-focused products, told staff on Monday it would be ‘re-interviewing’ staff across the company about how they use AI in their jobs, with the implication that the interviews may decide whether staffers have “continued employment,” according to an internal Proton email obtained by 404 Media.' #proton #404Media #ArtificialIntelligence #AI
