> Some Uber employees have built an AI clone of CEO Dara Khosrowshahi -- internally dubbed "Dara AI" -- and have been [1]using it to rehearse and fine-tune presentations before delivering them to the actual Khosrowshahi, he revealed on a recent podcast.
>
> Khosrowshahi said a team member told him that some teams "make the presentation to the Dara AI as a prep for making a presentation to me," and that the bot helps them adjust their slides and sharpen their delivery. Asked by the podcast host whether employees might eventually show Dara AI to the board, Khosrowshahi laughed but noted that AI models still can't process and act on new information the way executives do. "When the models can learn in real-time, that is the point at which I'm going to think that, yeah, we are all replaceable," he said.

They should just replace the CEO with the AI clone and brag to investors about the efficiency this move brings.

Uh huh. I'd argue that the executive role is significantly more replaceable by AI than the janitor. So, time to go get yourself a mop and learn how to clean toilets, Mr. Exec.

You guys weren't here in the 90s and early 2000 when H1Bs were starting to come into tech. People would joke about how the CEO job oughta go to an H1B worker but they'd never do it. Well now 2026 and (according to the list I asked Gemini to make) the CEOs of Google, Microsoft, Adobe, IBM (which was a major tech company from the 50s to the 90s), Fedex, Albertsons, and even Chanel are Indians.
AI will run most companies. Decision making will be AI driven.
2035 - AI is able to replace every white collar job.

They should just have AI present to Dara AI (Score:2)
And nobody has to go to work other than the poor morons who do gig work.
