    We’d probably be better off replacing 90% of CEOs with AI.

      Only if the money that would have paid the CEO went back to the workers… But I think we all know it would go to the board and shareholders.

        Does that mean we’re going to start holding CEOs accountable?

      Please no. :(

      The CEO role is mostly about doing what you are told by shareholders. Last thing you want to do is remove the final limitations of a conscience from the position. An AI for ceo’ing will be optimised to be evil. More evil than the average psychopathic/narcissistic/Machiavellian CEO.

      edit: Downvoters might wanna learn to read more thoroughly. I’m saying CEOs have almost no conscience. I’m not saying they have more than a narc/psycho/machi level of conscience, I’m saying they have a tiny tiny scrap of it(rarely), which the AI will not have.
