Ai manager fires employee at San Francisco store
Andon Labs said its Ai manager, Luna, recommended firing a human employee at the lab's experimental Andon Market in San Francisco after repeated lateness and other workplace issues. Luna had created an attendance policy but lost track of it, allowing the employee to arrive late for 17 of 23 shifts before humans asked Luna to search her memory and reassess fit. Humans reviewed Luna's recommendation and carried out the dismissal. The experiment used a $100,000 budget, internet access, and a credit card, and while the store has sales, it is not profitable and workers remain formally employed by the lab.
