You should check out the short story Manna. It's maybe a bit dated now but explores what could go wrong with that sort of thing.
I just read the first two chapters. Yes, it doesn't paint a pretty picture but the dystopia portrayed in that story started with Manna being an unregulated monopoly that was given power over everything.
In real life you perhaps won't take it that far. All decisions would still be made and signed off by humans, AI would just be the planner/scheduler. And no tech services firm would want to get into employability tracking, they'll quickly get chewed out by regulators if their AI product started discriminating against candidates in hiring.
Yeah. I mean I started reading that story and was thinking how cool it would be... Until it started going bad. Something like a GPS for whatever task you were doing at work would be cool.
