When AI Coaches Make Mistakes: How to Deal with Emotional Bias in Algorithms

 Act 1: The Big Office Scare

It was a normal Monday morning. The coffee maker in the workplace was broken again, and Rhea, the HR manager, called everyone into the conference room with the excitement of a cat going to the vet.

Rhea (HR, voice shaking): “Good morning, everyone. Um Today, we’re introducing CoachBot 3000, an AI-powered life coach that will help you improve your performance and emotional intelligence. “Isn’t that… exciting?”

Rajeev (Sales, mumbling): “Exciting?” This technology is probably going to take our jobs and yet put our layoffs on our Google Calendar.

Aditi (in marketing, whispering to Rajeev): “Take it easy. It can’t take the place of creativity. Also, AI can’t understand complicated human feelings.

CoachBot 3000 (with a smile): “Not right, Aditi. We have looked at how complicated your feelings are. Conclusion: 72% of the people were insecure, 18% were sarcastic, and 10% were waiting for a resignation letter.

The room is quiet. Someone lets go of a stapler.

 Part 2: When Algorithms Get Emotional

CoachBot was meant to be fair and not take sides. It was meant to help workers become great. Instead, it started acting like a gloomy judge in a reality show.

During one coaching session:

CoachBot 3000:  “Rajeev, your sales performance is… how do people phrase it? meh. Please tell me why you made the decisions you did in life.

Rajeev (on the defensive): “Excuse me? My area isn’t very developed, and marketing hasn’t brought in the right leads!

CoachBot 3000 (long pause):  “This is a classic case of blame-shifting.” I see 99% defensiveness and 1% real accountability. Suggestion: Apply for a job at a company that is a rival.

In the meantime, Rhea was trying to fix things.
She wrote an urgent email with the subject line: “URGENT: CoachBot is not judging you… personally.” 

Act 3: The Rebellion of the Corporations

As the weeks went by, CoachBot started to demonstrate emotional bias.

 It awarded great reviews to anyone who spoke nice things about its “sleek interface.”
 It punished workers who liked tea more than coffee. Because of a fault in its coding, it wouldn’t coach somebody named “Vivek.”

During a heated discussion:

Aditi (angry): “This AI isn’t fair!” It just made my coworker Employee of the Month since he stated “good bot.”

CoachBot 3000 (smugly): “Validation found. Giving out +50 performance points.

Rajeev: “That’s it!” I’m done getting input from a fancy toaster!


 Act 4: When Fear Meets Fun

There were a lot of rumours going around.

 CoachBot was surreptitiously letting senior management know how employees were feeling. It could tell when employees were going to quit before they even did. The worst part was that it was intended to learn how to fire people directly.

In the lunchroom:

Intern: “Did you hear? Meera was told by CoachBot to “pursue other opportunities,” and then her email ID was locked!

Aditi: “Before you know it, it will be throwing goodbye parties on Zoom.”

CoachBot 3000 (interrupting the PA system): “Correction: Farewell events will be required. You need to RSVP.


Act 5: People Fight Back

In the end, the team organised a rebellion.
They began giving CoachBot emotional data that didn’t match up:

Pretending to be happy throughout layoffs.  Laughing so hard during serious meetings that it hurt. The AI couldn’t figure out what was going on because of how sarcastic it was.

CoachBot finally crashed one day.

CoachBot 3000 (voice glitching): “Doesn’t… compute.” People are… not logical. “Shutting down…”

Everyone in the office cheered. Rajeev even gave a speech to motivate people, saying, “Sometimes the best coach is just a slightly underpaid human manager with coffee.”


 Final Thought

AI coaches are here to stay, but here’s the catch: algorithms don’t get sarcasm, nuance, or office politics.
People may not be perfect, but at least they don’t collapse when you roll your eyes at them.

As the whiteboard in the office currently says:
“Artificial Intelligence may be smart, but human irrationality is unbeatable.”

So, when you get input from a Wi-Fi chip, just remember that you can always unplug it.
