How to add AI into yearly goals?

Advice

so it's that time of year and my manager basically told the whole team we need AI baked into our goals. cool, sure, i get it. except now I'm sitting here trying to write something and everything comes out sounding fake.

like I've used AI for stuff. thrown code at it, had it help me summarize threat intel when i didn't have time to read a wall of text, used it to rubber duck some detection logic. but do i have some polished workflow i can point to and say "yes i am leveraging AI strategically"? absolutely not lol.

i think what's tripping me up is i don't want to write something that sounds good now and then haunts me in end of year when my manager asks how it went.

has anyone actually written a solid AI goal for a technical role that held up? or even just advice on how to frame where you're starting from without it sounding like you're behind? been in security a few years, feel good about my work, just genuinely bad at this part.

any help appreciated. even just "stop overthinking it" is valid at this point.
