Google’s Sundar Pichai says the job of CEO is one of the ‘easier things’ AI could soon replace (fortune.com)

“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.”

take responsibility in what sense? CEOs are not responsible in no other sense than to the stockholders and/or the board of directors and to the law. If they don't break the law then the only responsibility they can take is resigning or being sacked. Failing in usually by not maximizing profits if it's a for profit corporation. It really is a perfect job for a machine because the job really just requires following a preset directives to a letter even to the point of psychopathy.

The law. AI isn't a person so it can't be tried and punished for committing a crime.
