Why are crypto exchanges forcing employees to use AI tools?

[johnblockbuster]

Major centralized exchanges like OKX, Bybit, and Bitget are reportedly mandating daily AI usage because they view artificial intelligence as core infrastructure rather than optional tooling. According to industry reporting, some firms are even tracking “AI token consumption” as part of employee performance reviews.

The push is tied to measurable productivity gains. Bybit has reportedly seen engineering productivity increases of around 30% through its AI programs, while Bitget has used AI systems to significantly reduce hiring timelines. These results are encouraging firms to formalize AI usage across engineering, operations, and even recruitment.

In practice, this means AI tools like Claude and other enterprise models are being integrated into everyday workflows, including coding, documentation, and internal decision-making processes.

Mandating AI usage… that’s a big shift already.

“Use AI or fall behind” becoming company policy

Tracking token usage for performance feels a bit dystopian.

Productivity up 30% is hard to ignore though.

AI going from tool → KPI is the real change here.

But forcing tools doesn’t always mean better results.

Feels like early days of “everyone must code” but with AI.

Smart move short-term, long-term culture impact unclear.

Adapt or get replaced… that’s the vibe
