AUA: How Does HR Rewrite Job Descriptions for AI?


Listen Later

Every HR team is getting the same ask right now: rewrite our job descriptions to reflect AI. It sounds reasonable—until you realize you're being asked to update a document that was already a little broken for a world that's changing faster than any static artifact can keep up with. So where do you even start? And is the job description itself actually the right place to begin?

In this AUA, Rodney and Sam flip the question entirely—arguing that the smarter move is to start with what AI can actually do in your organization, define the human's role in relation to that, and why living, dynamic approaches to role clarity are more essential now than ever.
