Amazon Used An AI to Automatically Fire Low-Productivity Workers
It's a grim glimpse of a future in which AI is your boss — and you're
disposable.

This time, artificial intelligence is literally taking jobs.
Documents obtained by The Verge show how Amazon used a computer system to
automatically track and fire hundreds of fulfillment center employees
between for failing to meet productivity quotas — a grim glimpse of a
future in which AI is your boss.
While not every decision was made by a computer system, the documents —
including a signed letter by an Amazon attorney describing the system —
reveal how deeply automated the process really is. It’s not clear whether
Amazon is still using the system.
“Amazon’s system tracks the rates of each individual associate’s
productivity,” reads the letter as quoted by The Verge, “and automatically
generates any warnings or terminations regarding quality or productivity
without input from supervisors.”
Boss Machine
After this story ran, Amazon spokesperson Ashley Robinson reached out with a
statement that pushed back against The Verge‘s reporting — but failed to
provide specific examples of inaccuracies.
“Similar to many companies, we have performance expectations regardless of
whether they are corporate or fulfillment center employees,” read the
statement. “We support people who do not perform to the levels expected of
them with dedicated coaching to help them improve and be successful in their
career at Amazon. We would never dismiss an employee without first ensuring
that they had received our fullest support, including dedicated coaching to
help them improve and additional training. Since we’re a company that
continues to grow, it’s our business objective to ensure long-term career
development opportunities for our employees.” |
