It classified her as "most likely to be critical and sue company for ethical violations".

But seriously, I don't know what it is with the AI craze. Today, HAL 9000 seems like a documentary because it's like most of these AI are behaving - highly reliable until they go off the completely deep end and suddenly aren't. They are at their worst when deployed in highly subjective and dynamic situations, like the one mentioned in this article.

All I'm reading from this is that the company has "ethical violation" problems and should probably be investigated
