If AI ends up running companies better than people, won’t shareholders demand the switch? A board isn’t paying a CEO $20 million a year for tradition, they’re paying for results. If an AI can do the job cheaper and get better returns, investors will force it.
And since corporations are already treated as “people” under the law, replacing a human CEO with an AI isn’t just swapping a worker for a machine, it’s one “person” handing control to another.
That means CEOs would eventually have to replace themselves, not because they want to, but because the system leaves them no choice. And AI would be considered a “person” under the law.
How do they take the fall exactly,“millions in a golden parachute, and high-fives on the way to next ceo job?” At least you could turn the AI off.
I mean, that’s one way it happens. CEOs can serve different purposes, but a CEO who’s job it is is to be hated and take the blame for actions the board company wants done then get fired with a payout and move on to the next job? That’s definitely a thing.
An AI wouldn’t be able to do that job because they can’t be fired. Or on second thought, the board can change the AI program to a different company every few years.
I accept your proposal to turn off ceos when there leadership results in the death and injury of humans.
