Matt MacInnis介绍了Rippling公司新推出的AI产品Talent Signal，该产品通过分析员工的工作成果（例如代码、客户互动等）来评估员工绩效，生成"高潜质"、"典型"和"需要关注"三种信号，辅助管理者进行绩效评估和员工沟通。Talent Signal不依赖人口统计数据，避免了潜在的偏见。由于AI评估员工绩效尚处于早期阶段，存在一定的风险，因此Rippling公司采取了早期访问计划，并限制了产品的应用范围，以逐步建立信任，并确保其安全性和可靠性。Talent Signal的最终目标是提供一个独立于管理者主观偏见的客观信号，更准确地反映员工的工作绩效，帮助公司更好地识别高潜质员工和需要支持的员工，从而提升团队整体绩效。Rippling公司在开发Talent Signal的过程中，重视员工的反馈，并制定了相应的政策，以确保AI工具不会被滥用，管理者仍然需要结合自身判断进行综合评估。Talent Signal的应用场景首先集中在个体贡献者，例如销售人员、支持人员和工程师，未来可能会扩展到管理者层面。Rippling公司选择开发Talent Signal的原因是其拥有大量员工数据，并且AI能够有效地处理和分析这些数据，从而解决传统绩效管理中存在的一些问题，例如管理者主观偏见等。 Sarah和Elad与Matt MacInnis讨论了Rippling公司的产品策略以及Talent Signal的优势和潜在风险。他们探讨了如何将AI评估融入到实际决策中，以及如何平衡AI工具的应用与人工判断。
