Re: Automate the CEOs
#2or perhaps people can deal with the true problem: people.
who makes ceo-bot? people. not ceo people, but that paints ceos too harshly, to act like only they can do wrong. (they just do it with such gusto.)
people are the problem. society. culture. not the existence, the current implementation.
maybe in a few years.

Which is not to say that AI won't be immensely helpful for running companies; just that once you're in the role for two days you realize that replacing that role entirely isn't going to happen.

Being a CEO isn't like playing chess. Being a CEO is more like a really complex version of self-driving cars. Why? Because it involves interacting with other humans, all the time. It's all people problems.
Chess isn't. Chess is decision-making with a finite (if immense) set of possibilities. Very different set of problems.

The quote from the article is clearly from someone who has never run a company, of size at least.
People have a very hard time being good CEO's, AI will not make that happen any time soon.

Journalists might very well say the same thing (when people who've never been journalists talk about replacing them with AI).

#9If CEOs were as replaceable and disconnected from the outcome of a business as the author suggests, boards would've started doing this long ago and CEO salaries would come down as a result (lots of people want to be CEOs, and by this author's logic, virtually anyone can do it). This is so disconnected from reality it reads like satire.
