Using AI to Decentralize Organizations

Operating a company with no managers, where everyone chooses their work, salary, and holiday entitlement may sound like chaos. But Daniel Hulme, CEO of Satalia, and his team of 250 people are making it productive. Daniel joins Azeem Azhar to discuss what a company that runs as a decentralize swarm looks like in practice.

They discuss:

• The role of artificial intelligence and open innovation in a swarm organization.


• How a decentralized business creates accountability to ensure strong output.


• The potential for the model to scale to larger organizations, and even countries.
