AI Firing List Cartoon — When the CEO Tops the “Low-Value” List

The Scenario: In this AI firing list cartoon, we witness the ultimate corporate "backfire." A leadership team, eager to automate the messy process of layoffs, tasks a high-powered AI with identifying the most "cost-ineffective" assets in the company.

The algorithm, following the data without bias or ego, concludes that the most logical person to cut is the one with the highest salary and the lowest direct output: the CEO.

The Observation: This narrative exposes the fatal flaw in "Algorithmic Cowardice." Leaders love data until it stops being a shield and starts being a mirror.

At Kaapi with Ravi, we observe that if you ask an unfeeling machine to optimize for shareholder value, it won't care about your executive parking spot or your title.

This is the ultimate corporate karma—building a tool to automate the suffering of others, only to realize you are the most redundant piece of the machine.

An AI firing list is only "innovative" until the algorithm realizes the company can replace the CEO with a $20-a-month subscription.
