Pathologically short-term thinking from management is a problem that far predates AI (computers, even), and the solution hasn't changed: go somewhere better and watch the old place burn.

Can we replace management with AI?

I heard of multiple "let's make an AI to show who to fire to increase efficiency" get canceled after inevitably the AI points towards upper management which then cans the project because they can't spin it to have themselves excluded from analysis.

We all keep making this joke, and one day someone’s going to try it. I have a feeling it’ll be moderately successful too.

Not yet.

Give it another year.
