EY is dangling bonuses of up to $25,000 for workers who prove their human skills still matter in the age of AI
- EY is investing $100 million to reward employees who build human skills (judgment, adaptability) and experiment with tech — a bet that people, not just AI, will drive client value.
- AI is making accounting less tedious and more attractive to Gen Z, boosting productivity and interest in the field.
- Firms and young workers worry about preserving critical-thinking and on-the-job learning as routine tasks get automated — a growing career and hiring concern.
