“We hired AI” sounds sexy. In practice it’s a workflow: input → model / agent → review → output into a system.
Roles where AI fits
- L1 support and ticket triage
- Draft prep (emails, descriptions, reports)
- Data extraction from documents
- Internal search over a company knowledge base
Roles where AI doesn’t
- Final legal commitments
- Sensitive HR decisions
- Anything without an audit trail and an accountable human
How to “hire” AI
1. Define role KPIs (time, error rate, CSAT). 2. Grant access only to needed data. 3. Human approval on risky actions. 4. Log prompt + output. 5. After 30 days: scale / tweak / kill.
Conclusion
An AI employee is an automated role with oversight — not a replacement for culture and accountability.
