Maybe one day, in the distant future, we will have AI bosses and AI doctors and AI judges who make very important decisions entirely on their own. And there's nothing wrong with that. Any bias, moral crises, lapse in judgement that AI has, humans have these as well. There are plenty of real-world bosses and HR who respond in a similar manner to the AI "bosses" described in this article. But not today. Because AI is not at the level where it makes mistakes at the same rate as humans. AI is better at chess and maybe driving cars, but it's not yet better at critical thinking, empathy, and solving open-ended problems like "how should we address this employee's performance?" Not necessarily because it can't be better, but it isn't yet at that level. Even if Amazon actually tried to make their AI bosses lenient, without some human holding the final decision or appeal, there will be blatant mistakes like the ones the article describes.
