Evals Becoming the New OKR in Enterprise AI
sanjaykalra · x · 2026-07-16
This post summarizes and links to an article about enterprise AI, with the core point: **evaluations (evals) are becoming the new OKRs**, and after adopting AI, companies' existing playbooks, processes, and knowledge assets get redefined. The article uses the phrase "You just hired a million bad employees" to describe the risk and reality of deploying AI: without proper evals and constraints, AI can act like a huge but unstable team. The poster finds the article representative of how enterprise AI is being implemented.
