Can leadership be automated? Persoanlly, I don’t see automated CEOs as a viable option for the foreseeable future. Automation usually works best with consistent and repeatable functions right? And automation usually works worst with diverse, infrequent, and unusually functions right? Could a CEO’s roles and responsibilities be somewhat split(with some grey area delineation) between hard and soft skills? Automation support for senior leadership hard skills seems like a logical extension of recent automation capabilities. In fact, I could imagine a well branded AI/human teaming decision support service becoming the new high-end executive health service status symbol. If companies are willing to expand and experiment with very high end health care support to senior leadership as a means to ensure high cognitive functioning then it would be a natural extension to include bespoke AI/ML decision support for senior leadership. Where else would bespoke AI/ML decision support for individuals originate and gain traction? It seems inevitable that it would originate where the opportunity cost is greatest. So CEO/AI teaming seems ripe for exploitation today, but a fully automated CEO still seems completely unreachable. However, if it emerges I would imagine it will do so first in business units with extremely high simplicity, repeatability, and predictability.
