Employees are doing the work. AI is getting the credit.

In her presentation to the senior leadership, could she highlight how Claude, the AI chatbot , helped her? Aubrey, a New York-based healthcare analyst, spent countless hours working on a new way to speed up an expensive medical manufacturing process . While she used Claude in a small capacity, her manager wanted her to make it sound as if the AI had come up with the idea and executed it on its own. "I had worked for over a year to gather issues, draft alternatives, learn the implications of any changes, and my manager wanted to credit all of that to AI," says Aubrey, who requested to omit her last name for fear of retaliation.
