Billionaires also fall into the Gartner hype cycle. And convincing a billionaire there’s an opportunity to automate workers out of a job is a quick way to get an injection of cash.

It’s going to be generations before we are actually able to automate most labor. But long, long before that AI will be capable enough to replace overpaid CEO’s.

McKinsey, Deloitte & co will provide that service.

But how does an AI come to run a company in the first place? A CEO has to be replaced by an AI. What does that process look like in the first place?

Worker owned co-op with CEO duties coordinated by an AI.
