An artificial intelligence manager has reportedly made its first firing decision at an experimental shop in San Francisco, dismissing a human employee after they arrived late for 17 of 23 shifts.
The unusual incident took place at Andon Market, a retail experiment operated by Andon Labs in which an AI agent named Luna is responsible for much of the business's day-to-day management. The shop has human employees, but Luna handles decisions ranging from staffing and stock selection to scheduling and operations.
