JPMorgan Managers Can Use AI for Performance Reviews, With Caveats

Imagine your teacher is writing a report card about you.

Now, imagine they have a smart computer helper that can help them write it faster.

That's kind of what JPMorgan is letting its managers do for employee reviews.

The computer helper can read notes and feedback and suggest what to write.

This could help managers write better reports because they have less time and might forget things or be unfair sometimes.

But, the computer helper isn't supposed to decide your grade or if you get a raise – the manager still has to do that important part.

The big question is whether these computer-assisted reports will feel real and helpful to you, or if they will feel like they weren't really written by your boss.

It's important for the managers to use the AI helper wisely, like a tool, and not just let the computer do all the thinking.

Companies are still figuring out the best way to use this new technology without losing the important human touch in evaluating people's work.
