Could British workers be forced to negotiate pay with AI chatbots?

An Estonian technology firm, Pactum, has designed an artificial intelligence (AI) chatbot that is capable of bartering with employees over their contracts. Pactum says that the robot will be able to find the best deal for both parties by factoring in considerations such as holiday allowance, contract terms, and location. The company claims that its AI is'unbiased' and cannot be influenced by gender, ethnicity, age or social class. Negotiating with a robot could be less stressful than dealing with a human, the company suggested. "We've all felt stress during job interviews," said Pactum co-founder Kaspar Korjus.
