Outside of the US you can't just fire people, you have to find some sort of justification and AI provides one that no one can really question. AI is a technology that does exist, and it definitely is causing some disruption, while there is a question mark over how much disruption is really attributed to AI efficiency gains, you cannot demonstrably prove that any particular redundancy wasn't because of AI. So it would be very difficult to win a case of unfair dismissal. permalink fedilink source parent
