“I think what a CEO does is maybe one of the easier things maybe for an AI to do one day,” he said. Although he didn’t talk specifically about CEO functions that an AI could do better, Pichai noted the tech will eliminate some jobs but also “evolve and transition” others—ramifications that mean “people will need to adapt.”
Pichai’s comments come as other tech CEOs have also predicted the coming of a new era of chief executive automations. OpenAI CEO Sam Altman previously said AI will someday do his job better than him, adding, “I will be nothing but enthusiastic the day that happens.” Sebastian Siemiatkowski, CEO of buy-now-pay-later firm Klarna, also said in a post on X earlier this year that “AI is capable of doing all our jobs, my own included.”
You don’t even need AI. Just pay staff less and charge customers more, and give the stolen money to shareholders. Ta-da! That’s the CEO’s job done.
Because upper management is less checked, they make a lot of human choices, such as keeping a lot of bullshit job positions open as garden hermits (there for scenery, to look busy).
AI tasked with actually increasing profits may run the business better than their human counterparts.
Hype up vaporware. Be unprofitable but keep on hyping to draw in investors and inflate stocks and give yourself an inflated salary and sell off stocks periodically.
If get lucky enough vaporware eventually becomes a viable company or it goes bankrupt but its fine you already cashed out along the way. Yay.
Become the shareholder and pay yourself ᕕ( ᐛ )ᕗ
Haha I like that emote
