Here’s why Alexander Liteplo thinks AI will be a better boss than a human…

The creator of RentAHuman — the marketplace where AI agents can hire humans and pay them in stablecoins — notes that an AI boss is always available to answer questions or settle conflicts.

AIs communicate clearly and don’t lose their temper.
And an AI knows precisely how to allocate resources and people.
When in doubt, an AI agent can still ask a human for suggestions or advice.
Maybe it’s about time to put AIs in charge of the companies? Explore the future of work possibilities in this TWiST highlight.
