I never started “beneficial”
Its entirely possible that ai agents build, regardless of whose interest, keep running after their original owner dies.
If the job is “become an industrialist, expand and drop % of all profits on this bank account” and its actually competent it could lead to industry itself being more and more monopolized by fewer and fewer ai.
That would halt the status quo where many human agents create companies for different reasons and industry is an ethical melting pot. Thats what i meant.
Till that point in time the morality of ai businessmen is not different in effect then a human businessmen. Once that point. This morality shifts into either extinction or thrive for humankind.
