I do wonder what happens the day that A.I. becomes smarter than HR.

I don't think HR is dumb, per se, but that large, publicly traded corporations tend to focus on short term gains rather than what an AI might consider more reasonable long term gains. Such companies are also not above doing questionably legal things for this purpose - there's a lawsuit against Twitter for violating the US WARN act.

True, but things have a tendency to become, shall we say: Extra illegal, if you've already been warned.

In many cases you can claim that you didn't know, or that you thought that your situation was somehow special. An A.I, with knowledge of labor laws will make such a claim problematic.
