Prove Your Value at Work in the AI Era: Judgment Artifacts

Podcast/Substack · ~10 min · Podcast

• Core thesis: AI has eroded traditional competence signals — polished documents and prototypes no longer demonstrate judgment because AI can produce them without the underlying understanding.
• The replacement signal: “portable judgment evidence” — making invisible decision-making visible through whiteboard-style conversations, situation-decision-risk frameworks, and documented reasoning traces.
• Distinction between deliverable and judgment: AI automates the deliverable; human value lies in the judgment that determined what deliverable to produce. Hiring and career advancement must assess the latter.
