Highwire surveyed over a thousand corporate workers and found that 78% of managers used AI to draft, edit, or summarize performance‑review feedback in the last year. The managers said AI sped up preparation, but only 16% of non‑manager employees were told AI had been involved. Employees reported mixed reactions: 54% said the feedback became more specific, while 34% felt it was more generic and 32% found it less useful.
Why it matters
Employees may receive less transparent and potentially lower‑quality performance feedback because managers rely on AI without telling staff.
