“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.”
If other people are doing your work for you then it sounds like you’re not working full time.
Exactly my point, which means you missed it.
The things you quoted pointed to the things making CEOs less important, while other points the opposite.
So just to be very clear about my point: CEOs are very different jobs. Some can be cut, some cant, because CEO doesnt really mean anything other than “person in charge”.
