Summary
Shopify CEO Tobi Lutke has told employees that they must prove why they cannot complete their tasks using AI before they request more resources or headcount, according to a memo seen by CNBC.
He said that introducing autonomous AI agents across the company would be a fun experiment, and using AI has been the fastest shift he has seen during his career.
Effective use of the technology is now a fundamental expectation for everyone at Shopify, and AI usage will be added to performance and peer review questionnaires.
Lutke said the company’s success would come from the collective skills of its employees, amplified by AI.
