What Does This Mean?
[ SLANG ][ AI CULTURE ][ HIRING ]
A job candidate explicitly sought out for having grown up or trained professionally using AI tools as a default, fluent part of their workflow, rather than having adapted to AI tools later in their career.
REAL-WORLD EXAMPLE
"They reopened the role after two months of interviews because they decided they specifically wanted an AI-native hire."
LORE & ORIGIN
Hiring vocabulary reflecting a new candidate-evaluation criterion, as companies began explicitly filtering for AI-native fluency rather than treating it as a bonus skill.
