    If CEOs legally must do what benefits the shareholders, than cutting millions in employment costs by swapping CEOs with AI is now their legal obligation

    (Probably won’t happen, but I can dream!)

      Can’t happen. CEOs need to take the fall when the company is caught doing real shady shit, it’s why they get paid so much AND have golden parachutes to boot.

      Soon as you replace the CEO with AI, the question rises: when the company is, for example, caught accidentally making people less alive than desired in order to make profits better, who’s at fault? The AI company? They wouldn’t take that blow to their image. Has to be an individual.

      I’m not trying to say CEOs are innocent snowflakes. I’m saying they’re expected to be ruthless bloodsuckers and when the time comes, they protect the board by getting fired. Then the board chooses a new ruthless bloodsucker.
