Indian AI firm's Co-founder says he fired his receptionist 'as she was human'; criticised
A Pune-based AI startup's Co-founder Prathamesh Mali said he fired his receptionist, not because "she was bad but because she was human". Noting she missed three calls in a week and forgot to follow up with a customer who was ready to buy, Mali said, "It's about eliminating bottlenecks." "Soon you'll be replaced by an AI CEO," a user replied.
