It is expected that employees will prove why “they cannot get what they want to do with the help of artificial intelligence” before they asked for more employment and resources, he wrote Lutke in note for employees he published on Monday.

Lutke also said that in the entire Shopifif there are “fundamental expectations” that employees accept AI in their daily work, saying that it was a “multiplier” of performance for those who used it.
“I saw how many of these people approach incredible tasks, which we didn't even decide to solve, with reflective and brilliant use of artificial intelligence to get a 100 -fold work,” Lutke wrote.
