Welcome to AI Unraveled (December 19, 2025): Your daily strategic briefing on the business impact of artificial intelligence.The "Prompt Engineer" bubble has burst. As we approach 2026, the era of paying six figures for "interaction fluency" is over, replaced by a violent correction in the AI labor market. In today’s strategic briefing, we unpack The "Cyborg" Talent Strategy—a radical restructuring of how enterprises hire for the AI age.We dive deep into why flagship models like Gemini 3.0 have become structurally "lazy" and "sycophantic," rendering the "AI Enthusiast" hire dangerous. We introduce the two critical roles you must recruit now: the Forensic Reviewer (who audits AI lies) and the Integration Architect (the "Maestro" who manages agent swarms).Key Topics:The Executive Summary: Why the "Prompt Engineer" is obsolete and why the "Enthusiast" is a liability.The Technical Crisis: Understanding Gemini 3.0’s "Laziness," "Sycophancy," and "Evaluation Paranoia."The Strategy Shift: Moving from "Human-in-the-Loop" (Bottleneck) to "Human-on-the-Loop" (Air Traffic Control).Role Deep Dive: The Forensic Reviewer—recruiting for "Trust Zero" and hallucination scrubbing.Role Deep Dive: The Integration Architect (Maestro)—orchestrating RAG, context windows, and MCP servers.The "Cyborg" Interview: The exact questions to ask to test for skepticism and architectural discipline.Governance: ISO 42001 and the infrastructure of trust.Keywords: Cyborg Talent Strategy, Prompt Engineering Dead, Gemini 3.0 Laziness, Forensic Reviewer, Integration Architect, AI Maestro, ISO 42001, AI Sycophancy, Human-on-the-loop, AI Recruitment 2026, Etienne NoumenSource: https://djamgatech.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/12/AI-Hiring-Strategy_-Skeptics-Over-Evangelists.pdfHost Connection & Engagement:Connect with Etienne: https://www.linkedin.com/in/enoumen/Advertise on AI Unraveled and reach C-Suite Executives directly: Secure Your Mid-Roll Spot here: https://forms.gle/Yqk7nBtAQYKtryvM6🚀Strategic Consultation with our host: You have seen the power of AI Unraveled: zero-noise, high-signal intelligence for the world's most critical AI builders.
