Proton cancels AI re-interviews after report on pressure to use AI over security

Proton CEO Andy Yen cancelled near company-wide 're-interviews' that would have required staff to explain their AI use, after 404 Media reported on aggressive AI adoption that overrode security concerns. The investigation cited employee accounts of a fear-based culture, an AI manifesto from CTO Bart Butler, and a Slack exchange in which Yen dismissed a request to pentest new code before release. Yen said the push to use AI would continue and that the re-interview measures would feed into performance reviews.
