Sur In English reports on a Spanish labor court ruling involving an AI-generated termination letter that a judge deemed “unpresentable.” The case revolved around an employee who was dismissed using a generic letter written by artificial intelligence, without proper justification or alignment with labor laws.

The judge criticized the employer for delegating such a sensitive task to AI, noting that the letter failed to provide specific legal grounds for the dismissal or demonstrate any consideration of the worker’s circumstances. The court emphasized that termination decisions must comply with Spain’s labor laws, which require clear communication and valid reasoning.

This ruling highlights the growing legal and ethical concerns about the use of AI in human resources, particularly in employment decisions. It sets a precedent for ensuring that AI applications do not undermine workers’ rights. The case also underscores the need for stricter oversight and accountability when integrating AI into HR processes.
