Oyster reports a gap between everyday AI work and formal roles. In its survey, 95% of HR professionals report daily AI use in jobs whose descriptions omit it. Among companies adding AI requirements, 62% changed neither title nor pay and 46% did not formally communicate the change. Respondents describe different responses to self-automation: 38% reward it, 24% assign more work. The release combines platform job descriptions with a survey of over 1,000 HR and people leaders.
