My boss asked me to train AI to do my job before I quit

Leaving a job

A little bit about my bg: I’m currently working for a Chinese Fortune Global 500 company, although I’m about to quit.

In China, this is called “distillation” (蒸馏). It means the process of extracting an employee’s knowledge, workflows, and decision-making patterns from their work data, then transferring them to an AI system so that it can perform part or all of the employee’s job after they leave.

How does my company collect the data? The company has a comprehensive system of apps covering basically everything employees need to do their jobs, and all of them are integrated with the company’s own AI system. On top of that, having employees train AI to perform their work is included in management’s KPIs.

This is happening.
