They not firing them for AI. It's just a justification to fire because they over hired, atleast in the tech industry when money was cheap.

    I mean true in some cases maybe. But literally every company is looking to find ways to make the imaginary number in the stock market go up. Which means outsourcing jobs to places like India or Southeast Asia (and exploiting them), for 'contractors,' and then probably equipping them with AI so they can actually do something.

    How McDonald's spent who knows how much money to put in different drive-thru speakers. They've tried multiple times to use call centers out of India so they don't have to pay someone local. I've lost count of how many different drive-throughs I've gone through and just got an AI agent taking my order. They will literally use AI so they don't have to pay somebody minimum wage.

    whats worst is medical notes are being written with AI. i looked at after office visits from my doc who is part of an HMO. the notes were filled with strange mispelled words, and incoherent grammar. i think alot of health providers are using AI to do thier notes now.

    I would love to know how AI, which just steals and shares info doesn't violate HIPPA. Do they just append "and please don't share this data." and hope it works?

    AI companies offer HIPPA compliant services. They have zero data retention policies (supposedly).

    It's possible to do some server side AI stuff with decent privacy guarantees. Apple utilizes homomorphic encryption to do stuff like landmark ID in photos, which is neat.

    I think they are. CEOs and upper level management are absolutely drooling over the thought that AI can get them the same productivity with a lower head count. They see their employees are their biggest liability and are jumping on the chance to replace them with AI.
