""I would go even deeper than that," Siminoff said. "We're going to promote based on AI. We're going to promote based on how you're integrating AI into your job." Siminoff said that he wants to incentivize his team to use the technology more. "The promotion process is the only real incentive that I can give to a team, because that's how they're going to get paid," he said."
"Want to get ahead in Amazon's home security unit? You'd better be using AI. In July, Business Insider viewed an email from Jamie Siminoff, Amazon's VP of product who runs the home security division. In it, Siminoff said that all promotion applications would require employees to list how they were using AI. Siminoff doubled down on that position in an interview with Business Insider last week while promoting his book "Ding Dong.""
Amazon's home security division requires promotion applicants to list how they use AI and plans to promote employees based on AI integration into their roles. The division intends to incentivize AI use by linking career advancement and pay to creating greater leverage for the company through AI. The policy applies to the RBKS group, including Ring, Blink, Key, and Sidewalk. The division leader, who cofounded Ring and now oversees home security products, reiterated the approach while promoting his book and declined additional comment after company-wide layoffs were announced.
