GoKawiilProton CEO scraps planned AI-usage 're-interviews' after employee backlash report
Proton CEO Andy Yen called off nearly company-wide 're-interviews' that would have required staff to justify their AI usage, a plan that employees feared could lead to firings. The reversal, detailed in a two-hour all-hands meeting, follows a 404 Media investigation showing Yen aggressively pushing AI adoption at Proton, including dismissing employee security concerns about rushing AI-written code into production.
