Yesterday, I was playing around with some AI stuff, and I had this crazy idea: What if I could make an AI that could fire people? It sounds wild, I know, but I was curious to see if it was even possible.
So, I started by gathering a bunch of data. I needed information on employee performance, things like:
- How many tasks they completed
- How often they were late
- How well they worked with others (which was kind of hard to measure, to be honest)
I got this data from some old company reports and stuff – I had to dig around quite a bit. Once I had a decent amount of information, I started to build a simple model. I’m not a pro at this, so I used some basic machine-learning tools that are available online.
The first step was to clean up the data. Some of it was missing, and some of it just didn’t make sense. After spending a few hours on that, I fed the cleaned data into the model. The idea was to train the AI to recognize patterns that might indicate someone wasn’t doing a great job.
Testing it Out
Once the model was trained, I needed to test it. I used some made-up data that I created, pretending it was from real employees. I tweaked the numbers to see how the AI would react. It was pretty interesting – sometimes it would flag someone who was just a little bit behind, and other times it would miss someone who was clearly slacking off.
I kept making adjustments, trying to get the AI to be more accurate. It was a lot of trial and error. I’d change something, run the test data, and see what happened. Honestly, it felt like I was playing a weird, complicated video game.
The “Firing” Part
The tricky part was figuring out how the AI would actually “fire” someone. Obviously, it couldn’t send an email or anything like that. So, I decided to have it generate a report – kind of like a “risk score” for each employee. If the score was above a certain number, it would be flagged as a “potential termination.”
It’s all pretend. The whole point was just to see if an ai can do the “firing job”.
After a lot of tinkering, I got the AI to a point where it was… okay. It wasn’t perfect, but it could identify some of the low-performing “employees” in my test data. I even made a simple interface to show the results. A simple dashboard can show the employees and the risk score it generated.
It was a fun little project. It definitely showed me that AI has a lot of potential, but it’s also not going to replace human managers anytime soon. There’s a lot of stuff that goes into making these decisions that a computer just can’t understand… yet.
