Salesforce CEO Marc Benioff published an op-ed cover story in TIME magazine this week .

Julian Zelizer : Salesforce is promoting artificial intelligence technology that his company is looking to sell.

He says the essay deploys a now tired maneuver favored by Silicon Valley tech titans to parlay utopian rhetoric into an aggressive advertising strategy.

Zelizer asks: Why would you want to create an economy in fewer employment opportunities?.

“Meaningful impact”? “Unprecedented scale’s boring word choice.

Who is trusting what? What sort of "meaningful impact" is going to occur, and what is being impacted? The message appears to be this: If we, as Americans , trust wealthy tech oligarchs like Benioff to radically transform the economy via their coveted methods of digital “disruption,” we will all be meaningfully “impacted”.
