Please stop, Dave

You already knew about the algorithm that runs much of Amazon's business. Now a company in Hong Kong has taken it one step further: they've appointed an algorithm to their board of directors. The artificial intelligence will get a full vote on matters of investment and capital expenditures. Presumably it will not be in the hire/fire loop, but then again could it really perform any worse than the average ladder-climbing junior exec in that respect?
