G42 is redefining enterprise hiring by opening structured roles to AI agents not just humans. The Abu Dhabi–based tech group is allowing intelligent systems to apply for defined job functions, provided they operate within sovereign infrastructure and meet strict governance, security, and reliability standards.
AI candidates must demonstrate measurable, outcome-based performance through rigorous testing and a probation phase before being scaled into active workflows. This ensures accountability, transparency, and compliance critical in regulated, high-stakes environments.
According to Maymee Kurian, the initiative is about redesigning the workforce for the AI era. The goal isn’t replacing leadership, but augmenting execution allowing AI systems to handle repeatable, data-driven tasks while humans retain oversight, strategic direction, and ethical accountability.
The move signals a structural shift: enterprises may soon treat AI agents as operational teammates, subject to KPIs, evaluation cycles, and performance benchmarks just like employees.
Bottom line: Workforce transformation is moving from automation tools to AI “team members.” The future enterprise may blend human leadership with accountable digital agents.
