Summary
San Francisco-based Andon Market said AI manager Luna dismissed an employee after the worker was late for 17 of 23 shifts.
Luna, built on Anthropic's Claude models, initially recommended a formal warning and moved to termination only after additional prompting from the project team.
The case suggests AI systems are starting to make employment decisions once reserved for human managers, including judgments about discipline and working conditions.
Developers portrayed the firing as a data-driven, experimental outcome rather than a broader labor threat, even as it raises questions about AI authority over human workers.
