Because it is a more creative position, in which you must reason and make decisions, talk to people and manage personnel, you must create a bond

I think in the future, most of the work on entrepreneur will be done by humans. For example, I think humans will still be in charge of creative thinking or creating new inventions. But I think artificial intelligence can manage accounting, finance, and staff.

CEOs lead companies and human intelligence is certainly required. Moreover CEOs are in charge and they will never allow their jobs to be replaced.

When your talking about a chief executive officer it's someone starting his/her own business.

Why would a robot take their place as the chief executive officer of the business it's so silly.

But your talking about '' Super intelligence '' then because in that time when ASI arises they could become ceo's and get their own business started. That's fine but that doesn't mean humans will never start a business as ceo's. I'd say a robot would work for the CEO of the company.

I think that chief executive require people and social skills that robots can no possess, and I believe that no robot is intelligent or advanced enough to handle this role.

Robots will not be able to replace human beings because they maintain a good relationship.

Anyone who thinks they can't be replaced by a robot is delusional. That said, when the times comes, maybe the executives can learn to code?

I would like to say: Chief executives can be the boss and that's a job to help run any company.
