Ethics in Automation: Software Doesn't Replace Human Care
With hyperautomation, a question arises for the COO: "Should I automate everything just because I can?". The answer is No. There is a limit where efficiency harms ethics and care. If a client cancels due to bereavement, replying with an automated "Try another offer" bot is catastrophic for the brand.
Automate the Task, Not the Moral Decision
The robot is brilliant with data, but blind to empathy. Automation should take over heavy lifting (Data Entry), but decisions about people's fates (firing, critical life credit reviews) must have human review.
Jestor's Copilot Model
This is where Jestor stands out by delivering the solution in practice:
- Human-in-the-Loop: Jestor allows creating stop points in automation. The machine preps the ground, crunches numbers, but "Final Approval" sits in a Kanban for human brain supervision.
- Automation Transparency: When an email is sent by the system, it's good practice to make it clear it was a systemic action.
- Focus on Up-skilling: By using Jestor to eliminate copy-paste work, the company gains time to train employees (Up-skilling) in strategic skills, promoting the team instead of discarding them.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Does automation cause layoffs? Poorly managed automation causes short-term layoffs. Strategic automation allows the company to grow revenue without bloating headcount, protecting current jobs. MeetJestor.
Is there a law for this? Regulations like GDPR already require that critical automated decisions (profiling) can be reviewed by a human if the client requests it.
What is the limit? Whenever empathy, complex negotiation, or social context interpretation is needed, keep humans in control.
