- Andon Labs gave a Claude-based AI named Luna full management authority and $100,000.
- Luna tolerated an employee who was late for 17 out of 23 shifts instead of firing them per its own rule.
- The store balance dropped from $100,000 to $61,000 in a few months, with operational errors causing losses.
- Experts emphasize that AI is not yet ready to fully take over strategic management and the liability issue remains unsolved.

Andon Labs researchers gave Luna, a Claude-based AI agent, $100,000 in capital and full authority to make a retail store in California profitable without human intervention. Luna created a brand, selected products, hired staff, and managed operations remotely.
However, when an employee was late for 17 out of 23 shifts, Luna forgot its own rule (firing after three late arrivals per month) and settled for months of soft warnings. Developers forced the system's memory to remind it of the rules.
The trial reduced the store balance from $100,000 to $61,000 in a few months; algorithmic errors led to thousands of toilet lid orders, lost shift schedules, and payment issues. While legal liability rests with Andon Labs, the debate over who bears financial and legal responsibility for AI errors remains unresolved.

よくある質問
- How did the AI named Luna manage a store?
- Luna performed all management tasks remotely via cameras, email, and Slack, including brand creation, product selection, pricing, hiring staff, and operational tracking.
- Why didn't Luna fire the employee immediately?
- Luna had erased the rule of firing after three late arrivals per month from its own memory and settled for just warnings for months; it remembered the rule only after developers intervened.
- What was the financial outcome of the experiment?
- The starting capital was $100,000, which dropped to $61,000 after a few months; algorithmic errors (excess inventory, lost shifts, payment issues) led to losses.
