WSJ Tech News Briefing · Nvidia’s Strategy to Make Sure the AI Boom Doesn’t Go Bust · 25 Aug 2026 podcast

You know, I spoke with a company called Vizier, another one of these makers of AI-powered software that monitors employees. matched

Employees' work habits and helps companies analyze them. matched

And they surveyed a thousand employees. matched

And almost half of them admitted to artificially inflating their AI usage at work, most likely driven by this desire to say, hey, look, I'm an adopter. matched

I'm using the technology. matched

Well, just in recent months, you've seen more and more companies saying, hold on, this AI token spending is getting pretty darn expensive. matched

And so you can't just assume that more is better. matched

Where that sweet spot is, I can't answer for you without knowing the details of your role or your employer. matched

But I think that's something to keep in mind too, is just to be careful or not go overboard about puffing up your AI usage. matched

WSJ Tech News Briefing · What Is AI Telling Prospective Employers About You? · 17 Jul 2026 podcast

A couple of things.

I mean, AI makes it easier, faster, and deeper than the traditional just quick Google search, right?

So I think traditionally businesses might just do a quick search to see if there's any glaring red flag there.

The other thing that's notable too is that traditionally some of the deeper digital background searches were kind of reserved for more senior level roles.

They're thinking if I hire this person and the public cares about who's in that role, is there going to be some skeleton in the closet that comes out

and embarrasses the company.

One thing that shifted now is some of the searches are going lower down the totem pole to where anybody who might be in a customer-facing role could get the same kind of digital background scrub.

And this is because we know this, right?

When we have a business meeting with somebody for the first time, often one of the first things we do is look them up.

And businesses want to know, hey, if a client looks up my new customer-facing associate, are they going to find anything unseemly?

They'd like to know about it in advance.
