Business Insider reports that some employees are building internal AI agents that managers may apply to automate tquestions and, in some cases, replace coworkers. The article profiles Matt Pressberg of Hype Lab, who states a larger PR firm questioned him about deploying a Maria-like agent “to displace employees,” and frames the phenomenon as an increasingly common workplace dilemma, where workers create tools they fear could become “a harbinger of doom for a lot of people,” per Pressberg. Business Insider’s reporting documents worker anxiety about becoming what the piece calls “accidental job executioners” as companies accelerate AI adoption and push for efficiency gains.
