Ernst & Young is setting aside $100 million to reward employees who demonstrate adaptability, innovation and sound judgment while experimenting with artificial intelligence.
The U.S. division of the global auditing and consulting firm is joining a growing group of companies that want to strengthen critical thinking and decision-making as employees work alongside AI.
The approach marks a reversal from the recent practice of offering bonuses to encourage workers to use artificial intelligence. EY’s new rewards will focus instead on the human abilities that can help ensure AI produces real value, including the capacity to adapt, think creatively and exercise good judgment.
