In a recent memo, Shopify CEO Tobi Lütke mandated that teams must prove AI cannot accomplish their tasks before requesting additional staff and resources. He encouraged exploring how autonomous AI agents could integrate into their workflow, a move expected to spark debate over AI's role in job security. This policy aligns with a broader trend among tech CEOs seeking efficiency through AI, as seen with Klarna's leader, who claims their AI can replace a significant number of customer service positions. Shopify currently employs around 8,100 people after a series of layoffs in the past year.
