AI now mandatory at Shopify, CEO confirms after leaked memo

Shopify CEO Tobi Lütke has formally declared the use of artificial intelligence a core job requirement for all employees, following the leak of an internal company memo outlining the company’s AI-driven future.

In a post shared on his personal Twitter account, Lütke published the full contents of the memo, originally circulated within the company. The move comes amid speculation that the memo was about to be leaked publicly, potentially in a negative light. Instead, Lütke embraced its message, framing it as a necessary and ambitious shift for the e-commerce giant.
