“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.”

The first thing a proper AI would do is solve the energy situation. Which will be allowed by 0 of the oil and energy industries. Solving that alone would reduce costs on EVERYTHING. Oligarchs would be out next. It's not going to happen.

They can just hire grok to be the ceo

At least he's honest, I guess. This time.

He's not worried though, so we know where they stand on how good this 'AI' is.

The only onstacle here is ethics, which the human CEOs already lack. So what are we waiting for?

Maybe he's just Pichai is just really smart and trying to get the breaks slammed on the AI bubble before it pops.

Listen if this works the way you think it does, half the country is going to be out of work. CEO: but our company will make a lot of money right, someone else is going to do it eventually anyway.

OK, look if this works the way it is supposed to, we won't need you anymore!

Oh shit, hit the breaks, no more AI, it's all a bubble anyway.

Ffs just stop talking, dude.

As soon as they fix the memory issue, sure. Otherwise it’s gonna be schizophrenic.

That's definitely going to be a solved problem very soon with RAG LLMs. I have a friend who works in LLM research and it's crazy how much progress they make so quickly. Their cutting edge stuff he shows me makes GPT-5 look like a toddler.

RAG isn’t a silver bullet by any stretch.

This was the ironic outcome of the Twilight Zone episode The Brain Center at Whipple's ( @WP ): After the labor was replaced by automation, the upper management was easily so replaced.

If that happens I HOPE we can Use our TAX DOLLARS to make Sure CEOS can Continue their Extravagant Lifestyle!
