A significant number of employers are using artificial intelligence in HR decisions, with 60% of managers consulting a large language model for pivotal choices about employee raises, promotions, and layoffs. Notably, 66% of managers sought LLMs' input on layoffs, and nearly 20% allowed AI to have the final say without human oversight. Concerns have been raised about the sycophancy problem, where LLMs generate biased responses reinforcing decision-makers' assumptions, potentially leading to devastating consequences for employees and ethical issues in the workplace.
