Are AI mandates a good idea?

No, because as Jan Schaumann said "Starting to think the real risk is not AI replacing junior staff, but senior staff quitting because they just can’t take this AI bullshit any longer and just opt for early retirement."

No. It's like mandating people use Notepad.exe. Why bother to specify the tools used?

It is kinder than the alternative, which is to just keep raising expectations and letting people get walloped out of the blue.

Lots of companies otherwise basically let employees miss the train and then lay them off for it and then they are stuck searching for a job with no modern skills.

To me this is the warning. AI may or may not pan out, but if it does, you don’t get to say you were blindsided.
