...and if some employees quit out of frustration about being managed by AI (being "moved between departments" at the whim of an AI sounds pretty spooky to me at least), even better!
- daniel_iversen 4y agoIt says "moving" employees which maybe implies voluntary, so "internal mobility" in other words which can create a lot of admin (business need, cost centres, levels, specs, visas etc etc). It'll perhaps be a while before the AI overlord runs the entire company and just moves us at it's whim and treats us all as Amazon Mechanical Turks[1] :) [1] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amazon_Mechanical_Turk https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amazon_Mechanical_Turk
- AlecSchueler 4y agoI took it more to mean that the paperwork involved in the move would be automated, rather than the decision to move.
- lynx23 4y agoI doubt there is much of a difference between typical brainless human management, and AI management. Maybe AI is even better, that is at least likely.
- jzb 4y agoIt won’t be. AI will be trained on human input, after all. And it will be even harder to appeal or reason against.
- XorNot 4y agoI actually can't wait till I'm managed by AI. At least with an AI there's the high probability it will get better. In fact most likely it'll just be the same gradually improving system which I can converse with for the rest of my career. Whereas with human managers who knows? Maybe they're good, maybe they're bad, it's a reset every time.
- nullsense 4y agoIf it's trained on data human managers then it'll just burn you out and emotionally manipulate you into staying with the company longer to maximize corporate profits. ...or your life could become utopia. Who knows?
