Seriously, a lot of CEOs and most managers could be much more easily replaced by AI than the workers. Run some analysis on some metrics lay off people based on that. Go over the market analytics, direct staff to work on derivative versions of the products that have good numbers, cancel products that don't. I'm not even sure if you really need AI for this, a very basic script could handle a lot of it.
Of course a program would be lacking in the common sense to say "Nobody is going to drop a week's pay so they can go into a virtual world where they're a poorly drawn legless cartoon character". But present day CEOs make these mistakes anyway. It wouldn't be good, but it wouldn't be worse than the status quo.
