In The Rise of the Machines around 6:30 there is talk about a San Francisco company that has an AI program that works to replace middle management. That idea is fascinating but I can't find any information online about a company working on this. Does anyone have a source?

That's kinda scary. Look up "Mana", a short story about an AI taking over management everywhere.

So, the first wave of fast food robots did not replace all of the burger flipping employees as everyone had expected. The robots replaced middle management and significantly improved the performance of minimum wage employees. All of the other fast food chains watched the Burger-G experiment with Manna closely, and they started installing Manna systems as well. Soon, nearly every business in America that had a significant pool of minimum-wage employees was installing Manna software or something similar. They had to do it in order to compete.
This is my comment I made on the original thread of the video with a link to a resource I found on the MM AI.

Hey there, I'm also working on a middle manager AI, although I'm located in Toronto. Creating overseer programs is actually quite a bit simpler than replacing workers in many cases.
I'd be happy to answer any questions if you're interested!
