Amazon has decided to stop using its internal AI ranking system, known as 'Kirorank,' after employees exploited it to boost their scores through unnecessary AI activities. The dashboard, which measured employee engagement with Amazon's Kiro developer platform, was reportedly used by some workers to point AI agents at trivial tasks, thereby increasing their rankings without contributing meaningful value. Senior Vice President Dave Treadwell reportedly warned staff, "Please don't use AI just for the sake of using AI," stating that the dashboard was built with "good intentions" but ultimately created additional costs for the company. The move comes as Amazon aims to have more than 80 percent of its developers use AI weekly and plans to spend around $200 billion in 2026, primarily on AI infrastructure. Similar issues were observed at Meta, where employees also pursued AI usage scores. Amazon now tracks "normalized deployments," focusing on AI-generated code that provides actual utility. *Source: [thedecoder](https://the-decoder.com/amazon-kills-internal-ai-leaderboard-after-employees-gamed-it-with-pointless-tasks/)*
