Uber CEO Dara Khosrowshahi has an AI clone

"One of my team members told me that some teams have built a Dara AI, you know, so that they basically make the presentation to the Dara AI as a prep for making a presentation to me. You can imagine, like, you know, by the time something comes to me, there's been a prep and a meeting of the slide deck has been beautifully honed. So they have Dara AI to tune their prep."

"It's unclear exactly how the AI version was trained (the engineers won't share the code with him, Khosrowshahi said), but Uber employees have replicated Khosrowshahi's feedback style and decision making patterns to stress-test their work before they take it to the boss."

Uber employees have developed an AI replica of CEO Dara Khosrowshahi that mimics his feedback style and decision-making patterns. Teams use this AI version to prepare and stress-test their presentations before submitting them to the actual CEO. The AI helps employees refine their slide decks and work quality through practice iterations. Khosrowshahi learned about the project from team members and acknowledged that by the time presentations reach him, they have been thoroughly prepared and optimized. The exact training methodology remains unclear, as the engineers have not shared the code with Khosrowshahi. This represents a notable example of employees creatively implementing AI tools in workplace processes.
