“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 AI was truly worth anything then these tech ghouls wouldn’t have to constantly hype it so much with click bait sound bites, and trying to shove AI features everywhere, even when it does not make much sense. These scum just want an excuse to keep laying off people to keep the bubble going so they can profitably exit while others are left holding the bag.
Exactly. Altman’s comment really speaks to this. It’s almost implying, “hey you should welcome AI taking your job too! We are similar!!”
