Test shows graduates using AI can outperform some managers: Atlassian

Prabhakar, who determines how artificial intelligence is adopted and deployed across the Nasdaq-listed tech giant, said frontier models had created new types of roles in the organisation and changed roles in other divisions such as sales and engineering. AI could also be used to accelerate graduates’ experience, she said.
