Tech giant Google dismisses over 200 AI specialists
In a recent turn of events, a tech company has found itself embroiled in controversy over its hiring and firing practices, particularly in relation to the physical presence requirement at work.
According to reports, the company has been hiring new employees, with a focus on specialists involved in training and supporting Google's chatbot Gemini and various AI programs. However, the company that issued the employment contracts for these specialists remains unclear in the available search results.
The roles of these specialists extend to evaluating, editing, or rewriting the responses of the chatbot to user queries. This suggests a crucial role in shaping the interactions between users and the AI technology.
The hiring of these specialists for Google's chatbot Gemini and AI Overviews programs has raised eyebrows, leading to suspicions about the company's intentions. Some reports even suggest the development of a program for automatic AI training and response evaluation without human involvement.
Fired employees have described this as "project termination," leading to concerns about job security and the potential replacement of human workers by AI. This sentiment is shared by some of the specialists themselves, who fear being replaced by the very technology they help develop.
Furthermore, it has been reported that some of the company's contractors were paid less than those hired through the main contractor, GlobalLogic. This disparity in remuneration has added fuel to the fire, with many questioning the fairness of the company's practices.
As the situation unfolds, the tech industry watches with bated breath, eager to see how the company will address these allegations and concerns. The potential impact on the future of work in the AI sector hangs in the balance.
Stay tuned for updates as more information comes to light.
