And a automatic metrics based firing system is probably much fairer than a human. Hard to sue for discrimination when you can prove with code it was based on metrics.
- malcolmgreaves 5y agoActually, it will be easier to show any labor law violations with an automated system. Any kind of wrongful termination or bias will be easy to show in the logs. Note that getting a computer to do something doesn't make it unbiased. People can, and often do, write bias into programs.

- croes 5y agoFairer? You mean like Amazons AI recruiting system that was biased against women? You can simply put discrimination into every metric.
