澳洲最大銀行被揭假稱聊天機械人提升效率 迫返聘45名被裁員工

隨著全球銀行業準備以人工智能(AI)取代大量員工,澳洲最大銀行——澳洲聯邦銀行(Commonwealth Bank of Australia,簡稱CBA)近日被揭發,曾謊稱聊天機械人能處理更多電話,因而裁減員工,結果被迫重新聘用45名被裁員工。

澳洲金融服務工會(Finance Sector Union,FSU)於周四發表聲明,指這次是工會的一大勝利。FSU表示,CBA以AI語音機械人取代這批工人,部分員工在銀行服務逾數十年,卻在上月突然被告知其職位被裁撤。當時CBA聲稱,因引入聊天機械人,每週電話數量減少約2,000通。

然而被裁員工透露,這完全是謊言。實際上,裁員期間電話量不斷上升,CBA甚至要「加班搵人頂崗」,管理層亦親自加入接聽電話工作。FSU因此將事件提交公平工作法庭,指控CBA未能合理解釋裁員決定,並質疑CBA在印度聘請類似職位員工,懷疑銀行藉聊天機械人掩飾外判計劃。

在審理期間,CBA承認未有妥善評估電話量上升持續多月的情況,並確認這錯誤導致相關職位並非真正冗餘。銀行已向被裁員工道歉,並提供三選一方案:重返原職、另覓崗位或接受遣散費離職。

根據彭博早前報告,全球銀行業未來三至五年預計將裁減多達20萬個職位,因為AI會取代大量工作,尤其是後勤、中層及營運崗位。CBA此番反轉,反映部分銀行急於推動AI,卻未全面考慮對員工及業務的影響。

不過,CBA並未因此放慢推進AI的步伐,上周該行宣布與OpenAI合作,計劃利用生成式AI提升詐騙監控及客戶服務,強調會投資員工AI技能,推動AI負責任使用。

FSU指出,雖然員工有機會回歸崗位,但已造成心理壓力和經濟困難,員工面對突然失業的恐懼。工會提醒,CBA此次反覆無常凸顯了雇主未必會為員工著想,變革隨時會發生,影響每個人。

評論與啟示

這宗事件不單是銀行業AI應用的縮影,更揭示了企業在追求科技效率時,如何可能忽視人性與倫理。CBA誤導員工、欠缺透明度,最終不但損害信譽,更令勞資關係緊張。這反映出企業若只注重短期成本節省,缺乏對員工福祉的長遠考量,最終可能自食惡果。

此外,銀行業大規模裁員背後,AI技術雖有助提升效率,但如何平衡自動化與人力資源,是一大挑戰。企業應該在推動AI的同時,設立完善的員工轉型支援計劃,避免社會不安及人才流失。

這事件也提醒監管機構需加強對AI應用的監察,確保企業負責任地推動科技變革。員工及工會的監督角色同樣重要,只有多方合作才能建立更公平、可持續的勞動市場。

最後,CBA與OpenAI的合作計劃,雖然展現出科技創新潛力,但企業必須公開透明,讓員工及社會理解AI的真實影響,才能贏得信任,真正實現科技與人力共融的未來。

The person from the reference photo ( keep the face of the person 100% accurate from the reference image ) relaxing on a fluffy, glowing cloud high above the sky, surrounded by soft golden sunlight and vast layers of clouds stretching to the horizon. the person is lying back comfortably with a pillow, wearing a dark long-sleeve shirt, olive green pants, holding a book in one hand and a coffee cup in the other. the lighting is cinematic and warm, capturing the golden hour ambiance with radiant highlights and gentle shadows across the clouds. captured with a wide-angle lens at medium depth of field, balancing focus between the subject and the surrounding dreamy sky. the overall atmosphere is surreal and serene, blending realism with fantasy in a peaceful, imaginative setting. Photorealistic recreation of the iconic grocery shopping scene from Home Alone, set on a snowy winter street in New York City with yellow taxis, steam rising from manholes, holiday lights on buildings, and pedestrians in the background. In the foreground, a man (his face is 100% same as the uploaded photo), smile gently, wearing a white sweater and a light beige scarf around his neck, is taking a selfie-style close-up photo. Behind him and slightly to the right, a young boy (recreated exactly like Kevin McCallister from Home Alone) with short blonde hair, wide-eyed surprised expression, wearing a red knit hat, red scarf, beige coat, gray gloves, holding two full plastic grocery bags (one with oranges visible, the other with a carton of milk and cereal boxes). The boy is standing on the snowy sidewalk looking shocked. Cinematic lighting, cold winter atmosphere, high detail, sharp focus, realistic textures on clothing and snow, film still style from 1990s holiday movie. Generate an ultra-realistic, highly ultra-detailed, 8k resolution with 1080x1080 pixel portrait of me using the uploaded image for reference (preserved the likeness and the original face for reference) of a cinematic studio portrait of a woman seated on a simple wooden chair with a minimalist design, positioned slightly to the left of the frame. She is captured in a contemplative pose, with her body turned to the left, her left arm resting gracefully on the back of the chair, and her right hand gently touching her face near her lips, conveying a sense of introspection and elegance. Her long, wavy hair cascades naturally over her shoulders, framing her face and adding softness to the composition. She wears an oversized, textured knit sweater that slips off her shoulders, exposing her collarbones and upper chest, emphasizing a relaxed and intimate mood. Her legs are bare, with her right foot flat on the ground and her left knee slightly raised, creating a dynamic line that guides the viewer’s eye through the composition. *** The background is a seamless, deep charcoal or dark brown studio backdrop, providing a rich, neutral setting that enhances the dramatic lighting. The lighting setup features a single, soft yet directional light source positioned to the left of the subject, casting gentle, sculptural shadows that highlight the contours of her face, shoulders, and arms, while creating a subtle gradient across her form. The light accentuates the texture of her sweater and the natural shine of her hair, adding depth and dimension to the image. The color palette is monochromatic with warm, muted tones—shades of gray, brown, and beige—contributing to a timeless, artistic aesthetic. The image is shot with a professional full-frame camera using an 85mm or 50mm lens at a wide aperture (f/1.8 to f/2.😎 to achieve a shallow depth of field, ensuring the subject is in sharp focus while the background remains softly blurred. The resolution is ultra-high, capturing every detail from the fine texture of her sweater to the subtle expression of her pose. The overall style is elegant, contemplative, and refined, emphasizing mood and atmosphere over overt glamour. Post-processing is minimal, maintaining natural skin tones, enhancing contrast and clarity, and preserving the authenticity of the scene. This portrait embodies a delicate balance between simplicity and emotional depth, making it suitable for fine art, editorial, or fashion photography.
