Probably not a useful canary for AI takeover. Coarse-grained hiring decisions are visible enough that humans in the companies are going to watch very closely, and not permanently cede power. It’ll just never happen that senior or executive employees are automatically dispositioned (well, at least until the AI controls the board of direcors and CxO positions).
The worrisome uses of AI are more impactful and less visible. Investment decisions, supplier selection, customer lockouts (based on “suspicious” activity that isn’t prosecutable fraud), etc.
