Replacing project managers and introducing reward/score based AI bots that keep track of progress of individuals as function of stories they are working on, and these bots send out reminders (slack chat bots perhaps). This will can help improve productivity at large firms with multiple (and sometimes unnecessary) levels of manager hierarchies such as IBM, Dell, HP, oil companies etc. Let's be honest a certain programmer has a pattern with which he/she works. Time spent on a problem, number of initial bugs, number of commits, time spent vs difficulty of a certain problem and so forth. We have all this data to quantify and train a bot. I mean why not :)
