It’s probably a paperwork thing. Odds are good nobody running a company that small is relying on AI. The real culprits of this kind of bullshit are bigger companies. The small outfits I’ve worked for at this scale didn’t really have “HR”. And let’s face it, they’re doing so much under the table shit already they aren’t gonna report it even if they do.

Just a guess. Not HR or manager or anything like that, just someone that’s seen the government reporting differences between small companies and large.
