Anthropic let an AI run a vending machine business in its office

"I don't actually think a human would do much better." At the Fortune COO Summit, Andon Labs cofounder and CEO Lukas Petersson described how an AI-run vending machine his team launched at Anthropic's office evolved into completely AI-run stores and cafes within a year. “A lot of disruption will come from incumbents being replaced by AI-run businesses," Petersson said. "That might take a while, but I think it's a way shorter time than most people think."
