In Australia, a bank employee was fired and replaced with an AI trained by her

Australian bank employee Catherine Sullivan was fired after 25 years of work and replaced with artificial intelligence (AI), which she trained. This was reported on September 5 by The Sun newspaper.

According to the publication, 65-year-old Sullivan's position was related to responding to clients, and she was later assigned to develop and test responses for Bumblebee AI. Soon, she and other employees were fired because the AI allegedly handled their work on its own.

"Unwittingly, I trained a chatbot that took my place," a former employee shared.

The woman added that later the bank faced difficulties because artificial intelligence could not cope with the influx of calls from customers — some of the employees were returned. However, Sullivan declined the offer due to the fact that she was not promised any guarantees.

The bank said it was reviewing its internal policy and offering jobs to affected employees."Газета.Ru ".
