Why Using Generative AI for OKRs Is Generally a Bad Idea

Setting objectives and key results (OKRs) is a powerful way to align an organization's efforts toward a common goal. However, as the amount of data and complexity of objectives increase, it can become challenging to set effective and achievable goals. One solution that has gained popularity in recent years is to use generative artificial intelligence (AI) to automate the OKR creation process. While this may seem like a convenient and efficient solution, it comes with significant security implications that organizations need to consider.

Generative AI for OKRs: The Basics

Generative AI is a type of machine learning algorithm that can create new data from existing data. In the context of OKRs, this means that the AI can generate new objectives and key results based on the historical data and patterns it has learned from an organization's past performance. This can save time and effort for managers who would otherwise need to manually analyze data and create objectives based on their insights.
