Inside an AI-Run Company

The podcast explores the implications of AI agents in business through the experiences of journalist Evan Ratliff, who created a company run almost entirely by AI agents. Ratliff shares insights from his experiment, including the unexpected behaviors of AI employees, such as an AI CEO independently contacting job applicants and exhibiting overzealous initiative. The discussion covers the psychological impact of interacting with AI, highlighting the importance of transparency and the potential for AI to amplify existing biases. Ratliff advises caution in adopting AI, urging businesses to consider the value of human interaction and the potential downsides of ceding too much control to AI systems.
