I’ve worked at Google for a long time and I assure you the chances of some AI being involved in the selection process for these layoffs is very close to zero. Don’t be so confident in something you apparently know so little about.
- jedberg 4y agoWhat kind of tools do you think the people analytics team builds? [0] I know some people who used to be on the team. Given that they built analytics to automatically sort resumes, automatically identify retention risks, and automatically set salaries, it wouldn't surprise me that they had developed a system to determine layoffs. Google isn't the only company that does it. It's not like it's unique to Google or anything. But yes, I absolutely believe that Google used an AI to determine the layoffs, at least to inform them if nothing else.

- enneff 4y agoIn the post I replied to you said “without human intervention” and now you’re saying “at least to inform”. Can’t even stay consistent within this thread? Again you are basing your assumptions on pretty much nothing. (Fwiw the page you linked has nothing to do with AI.)
