Company's AI payroll tool decides one employee shouldn't be paid that month, tells them to wait for the next one: 'So now I'm sitting here debugging code while worrying if I'll be able to afford my lunches until this is fixed'

Change in technology comes with new challenges. Technology can make our lives so much easier. Think about what life was like before Google Maps. You would have to have a physical map that you would have to carry with you, make sure it was up-to-date, unfold it when you needed it, and figure out where you were based on cross streets and landmarks. If you were going to a new place, you would have to account for a lot more time to get there, in case something went wrong. Because it often did. Now we can open up our phones and have perfect directions in less than a second. But sometimes technology creates new problems. 

Sometimes the world moves at such a fast pace that we haven't quite figured out how to keep up with it. We're learning this in spades when it comes to artificial intelligence. It's amazing what this technology can do. I don't have to tell you all of the impressive stuff that AI can do. But when you lose the human element of something, you lose a lot.
