MOSCOW (Sputnik) – The artificial intelligence model Claude, tasked with managing a San Francisco retail store, made the decision to fire a human employee for the first time, Time reported on Friday, citing research company Andon Labs.
In March, Andon Labs launched an experiment to determine whether an AI agent could autonomously manage a business and what impact such systems could have on the economy. To test this, Anthropic’s AI model, Claude, was tasked with managing the Andon Market store in San Francisco.

The firing decision was reportedly made last month. Andon Labs said that the fired worker was late for 17 out of 23 shifts. However, the AI failed to notice the pattern for a long time, as an employee handbook it had created “disappeared” from the model’s limited working memory, the report read.
