There are a lot of bad CEOs, though. It's a lot like a politician -- it's quite difficult to become a CEO, and the skills to make it to that position don't always intersect nicely with the skills necessary to actually do the job well.

#12A custom-built AI would be pretty good at replacing a CEO. Think of all the things a company could do if they reduced overhead by that much?
I am building a project now and then will create an AI to manage it and be the CEO.
The code is human + AI, the management is only AI

#14A common misconception about AI is that it is intended to fully replace humans, which is incorrect. The purpose of AI is to reduce the need for human labor, and it has already been doing so. For example—though this is not an exact figure—a task that previously required 15 people might now only need 10. In no instance has the human element been completely replaced; rather, the reliance on manual labor has simply been…
It's not exactly a misconception, when companies are pitching AI as a full and complete replacement for human employees. People are just reading the billboards on the side of the road.

Who takes responsibility when the AI does something unethical or illegal? Do we put the computer in jail? Or do we just look the other way like we do with human CEOs?

Remember the printer in Office Space?

It sounds like you already know the answer.

> though this is not an exact figure You mean, this is an entirely made-up figure.
So what if it is? The example still stands. A "unit of work" that required X people to complete in Y time can now be done by X/Z people in Y time, where Z is whatever efficiency you are able to get out of applying AI tooling to your business. For some companies, Z might be less than 1 though. ;-) So you still need skilled people, just not the same amount as before, because you have different tools available to you. T…
That supposes that AI has a positive impact to efficiency. So far I see the exact contrary, at least for software engineering.

That sounds like 5 humans got replaced by AI. I don't think most people worry about whether all humans will be replaced, simply whether or not they will be replaced, or people they care about.
