No part of this would be easy, the task of creating an AI that makes decisions consistently and remembers them is already extremely difficult, and creating automated leadership wouldn’t benefit workers. You cannot simply “get some codeheads to make this happen.” When this thing does exist, it will be built by the likes of Zuckerberg or Bezos, and likely in their image, so I doubt it’ll be equitable. The AI’s motive would be to create profit for the company, so it would fire as many workers as it could and operate with the minimum number necessary. Even if it was implemented to account for your union rights / benefits, it would just become ever more cunning at exploiting them. Beyond that, it wouldn’t have any empathy for rule breakers or people who make mistakes, which to be fair most humans don’t. If you want workers to have equitable rights and make equitable profits, they need to be in charge of the company themselves or have some sort of profit share program where they are directly invested in the company’s success.
