Tobi Lütke, the CEO of Shopify, has released a circular letter within the company outlining future work policies. These policies include:
1. Embracing AI as a fundamental tool for everyone, with increasing usage over time.
2. Making AI the core of prototype development and a crucial part of experimenting with AI applications.
3. Evaluating the rate of AI utilization as a factor moving forward.
4. Encouraging knowledge sharing on AI usage within the company, which already offers services like Copilot, Cursor, Claude code, and more.
5. Requiring job positions to demonstrate why AI cannot perform certain tasks before being opened.
6. Ensuring compliance with the policy for all employees, including executives and the CEO himself.
One factor driving Tobi to implement this policy is his belief that the economy is heading towards stagflation, where economic growth slows while inflation remains high, leading to major economic downturns.
TLDR: Tobi Lütke, CEO of Shopify, introduces new AI-focused work policies for the company, foreseeing economic challenges ahead.
