Office workers are reflected in a glass railing as they cross a street during lunch hour in Tokyo, Jun 1, 2015. TOKYO: Bosses worried about turnover or wondering how long a new hire will stick around can now turn to AI for a heads-up on who might be next out the door.
It crunches data on employees at a company, from their attendance record to personal information such as age and gender, and was created by Tokyo City University professor Naruhiko Shiratori with a start-up based in the Japanese capital. Then when fed data on new recruits, it predicts who is at risk of quitting"in percentage points", Shiratori, a media education expert, told AFP on Friday .
Now they are planning an upgrade so that the AI tool can suggest suitable assignments for new employees by analysing information from job interviews, as well as their characteristics and personal histories.
