Yahoo Japan is pushing full steam ahead with AI adoption, telling all 11,000 employees to start using generative AI tools with an ambitious goal: double productivity by 2028. This isn’t just a suggestion—it’s a company-wide mandate, signaling how seriously some corporations are taking AI’s potential to reshape work. While it could mean faster workflows and fewer mundane tasks, it also raises questions about job pressures and whether AI can truly deliver on such lofty promises.
Editor’s Note: This story is a snapshot of the bigger AI revolution hitting workplaces globally. Yahoo Japan’s all-in approach shows how companies are betting big on AI to boost efficiency, but it also hints at the fine line between empowerment and overreach. Will employees thrive with AI as a co-pilot, or will this lead to burnout and unrealistic expectations? Either way, it’s a sign that the "AI or get left behind" mindset is spreading fast—and workers everywhere should be paying attention.
