## AI 摘要

亚马逊员工因面临提高人工智能使用率的压力，开始编造虚假工作任务。公司内部指标要求员工将60%的日常工作与AI工具结合，部分员工为达成目标，不得不为AI生成无意义的任务，例如要求AI总结已完成的会议记录或生成已知答案的问题。这一现象揭示了企业在强制推行AI应用过程中可能引发的效率悖论和形式主义问题。

According to Amazon employees, the company is pushing them to incorporate more and more AI in their workflows. What exactly they should be using it for is less clear, leaving the door open for employees to waste AI resources on unnecessary tasks.

As detailed in a new report by the Financial Times, Amazon employees are reportedly using the company’s new internal AI tool, MeshClaw, to create extraneous AI agents—not to increase productivity, but to drive up AI activity.

The employees said Amazon is tracking their consumption of AI tokens, incentivizing some of their colleagues to prioritize quantity over quality when it comes to the technology.

Amazon employees sound off

Several anonymous Amazon employees told the Financial Times that rising AI expectations are changing their workplace for the worse. “There is just so much pressure to use these tools,” one Amazon worker said. “Some people are just using MeshClaw to maximize their token usage.”

Though Amazon apparently told employees that their AI usage stats wouldn’t come up in performance evaluations, not all workers are buying it. “Managers are looking at it,” another employee said. “When they track usage, it creates perverse incentives, and some people are very competitive about it.”

The interviewed employees claim that the company has a target of 80% of developers using AI each week, and that employees’ token consumption is tracked on an internal leaderboard. But a representative for Amazon said that there is no such company-wide metric for AI usage, nor are there internal leaderboards where employees are measured against each other. Rather, employees are able to view their own AI usage on personal dashboards.

MeshClaw, the tool some Amazon employees are using to inflate their AI usage, takes inspiration from OpenClaw, another AI tool that’s infamous for its potential productivity—and for its potential risks. Unlike other AI models, OpenClaw and MeshClaw run locally on users’ own hardware, giving them unprecedented independence. Earlier this year, the director of alignment at Meta Superintelligence Labs went viral when OpenClaw nearly nuked her entire email inbox, proving the potential danger of giving too much access to AI.
