Adding something to the "Risks" section of your company's financial report reads more like CYA ("Cover Your Ass") than "We're afraid of AI!" behavior.

There's a reason Henry Ford paid his employees enough to buy one of his cars.
The reality is that he couldn’t attract the right workers because factory work is sole destroying.

> less jobs is "good" for business Up to a point. Then you no longer have customers.
Prisoner's dilemma, with the businesses as the 'prisoners'.
