Uber has introduced monthly limits on employees’ use of artificial intelligence tools as it seeks to manage rising technology expenses. The company has placed caps on AI-powered applications used for tasks such as coding, research and content creation.
The move reflects growing concerns among businesses about the costs of generative AI, including subscriptions and computing resources. Uber said the policy is aimed at encouraging responsible use of AI rather than reducing investment in the technology.
Industry experts say the decision highlights a broader trend as companies move from experimenting with AI to closely monitoring its costs and business value.
