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 Agence France Presse on Friday.“We are currently testing the AI tool with several companies, creating a model for each one.”
To create the tool, the researchers built on a previous study using AI to predict the characteristics of university students likely to drop out.
