Machine Learning Models Are Already Your Managers

Uber and Lyft are probably the most visible examples of algorithms for managing people. These companies use various algorithms to efficiently find the closest drivers, the best routes, and the most effective methods of transportation for their customers. This is with minimal human intervention. Uber drivers don't ever really need to interact with their human bosses. Instead, their livelihoods are dictated by a model far off in a server somewhere telling them they need to go to 4th Street in rush hour to pick up Jamie who needs to go the airport.
