Behind The Risk: AI Feedback Tools Need Manager Accountability

Image
AI can support performance conversations by finding patterns, drafting feedback, and surfacing review signals. It can help managers prepare better, reduce missed context, and keep performance discussions more consistent. Algorithmic performance management also changes the trust equation.
