When AI is built into a company from the start, IT becomes the first department to rebuild. Current IT teams aren't AI-native and act as bottlenecks. Younger staff and interns are already outperforming legacy product teams, causing turnover and leadership flux.
What part of the company would you rebuild from scratch if AI were native from day one? And almost everybody gave the same answer. What do you think the answer is? IT. Everyone would cut their IT team because their IT teams are the ones that are non-AI native right now that are blocking a lot. So they're kind of digging in and you're kind of seeing a version of that with engineering, but whether it's IT or in a sense, it's whoever's not AI-pilled on the IT side, even on the product side as well, because we have a mutual friend where the interns are running circles around the product team. I think they fired their product leader and then another one of them quit. And so the product team is in flux right now, and then you have the younger people right now running circles around them, and he's actually doing it from scratch right now.
