With all the AI talk on Business channels and so forth. Are there expectations this will impact Chevrons Employees? Specifically back office, coders and network security? Hec even the base business. Finding oil and developing?

When AI beats the stock market, then start to worry.
The next thing we’ll hear is Chevron HR will be hiring AI Consultant, Robi the Robot, to decide who gets laid off and who stays.
AI replacing the hundreds of millions that execs spent on bcg bain and McKinsey is worth its weight
The senior partners come in and sell bs and then they send junior analysts who just graduated with no experience to come take notes and create decks for execs. That can save us millions just eliminating that alone
My opinion is that at least half of the Chevron employees on the payroll today are artificially intelligent. The rest are truly intelligent. So what effect will the artificially intelligent ones have on productivity in the office? Well, it doesn’t look all too well.
AI needs to be the talk of the world for about another four years before CVX management jumps on board (after the rest of the world has moved on to the next shiny thing).
The opportunity is that AI will enable even more meetings, now that you can generate slides from brainfarts, agendas from prompts, and have a meeting summary created, there really is no barrier to the meeting lover scheduling even more meetings. BRING IT ON!
I’ve seen how AI can take a recorded meeting transcript, and produce a summary of the meeting, including action items with links to where each component was discussed in the meeting. THAT’S going to eliminate a lot of jobs as there’s a level of leadership that loves to have meetings to fill their day and loves to have notes taken during those meetings to make them feel like something happened.
If you are not already using AI in your daily work you may not have much future. It is a massive time saver.
AI is MW's pipe dream. He envisages a day when Chevron is nothing by management, high-pots, and AI doing all the "work".
Not until they can find computers from several diverse backgrounds to do the work.
Same fear people had about computers. AI will simply be a complement.
I would not trust AI at all in our industry at its current state. I typed in a specific standards question to our internal tool and it gave me an answer and even referenced our engineering standards. I dug into the reference to confirm. I looked for the exact details and it wasnt even close in the text.
Large language models (what current AI) use probabilities and most likely responses to generate answers. In othet words I think it tells you what you want to hear. Maybe good for graphic design or generating text, not good for industrial design. Be careful.
Not unless it can be trained in OE or other useless chevron topics.
