Consumers probably think of Uber as a ride-hailing and food delivery company. But in the eyes of CEO Dara Khosrowshahi, Uber is really just a giant code base with engineers that are \u201cliterally the builders of the company.\u201d In fact, Uber\u2019s engineers have gone so far as to replace Khosrowshahi with a chatbot that they\u2019ll ask questions in preparation of meetings with the top brass.<\/p>\n

That\u2019s according to an interview Khosrowshahi gave this week on Steven Bartlett\u2019s podcast, The Diary of a CEO<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\u201cOne 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,\u201d Khosrowshahi said on the podcast<\/a>. \u201cBecause you can imagine, like, you know, by the time something comes to me, there\u2019s been a prep and a meeting of the slide deck has been beautifully honed. So they have Dara AI to tune their prep.\u201d<\/p>\n

Business Insider earlier reported<\/a> this detail.<\/p>\n

About 90% of Uber\u2019s software engineers are using AI in their work, Khosrowshahi said, while about 30% are \u201cpower users\u201d of AI tools, completely rethinking the architecture of the company.<\/p>\n

\u201cThey are manufacturing the bricks that go into the system, and they\u2019re architects who are kind of thinking about what the system should look like,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

Khosrowshahi added: \u201cIt really is changing their productivity in a way that I\u2019ve never, ever seen before.\u201d<\/p>\n
