The core role of a CEO is to assess the market and their company position within it and allocate resources to maximise increase in revenue and stock value.

A.I excels at this kind of analysis and decision making. Very few CEO's engage with their staff on a personal level, something AI's are bad at doing.

In short: CEO's should be busy making hay, the sky looks overcast.

Not at all, there aren't any options to replace them cause it's not about manage accounts and finance but more than leadership, creativity which can't be done by robots rather than human itself.

It's already had two instances of full automation, and both significantly out perform their human counterparts.

As the primary job requirements are analyzing the market and networking, skills that computers hold significantly in advantage over humans, it's unlikely this job will last much longer.

A.i are generally better at thinking far ahead even if right now they still lag behind in negotiations

The CEO position is highly paid due to the large amount of responsibility. AI can make decisions without being influenced outside of Data. No one is afraid of offending an impartial AI CEO so the data given is highest quality. AI is perfect to replace CEOs.

1) I feel it is probable, yet dreadful, that many low-risk jobs with moderate to high pay rates will quickly become oversaturated. These jobs can then be easily replaced by others who accept progressively lower rates of pay.

2) The high-risk jobs will soon become automated and no longer exist.

3) Job growth would be surpassed by the oversaturation of remaining jobs. Few new job fields will open or boom, except perhaps, the robotics field.

4) This could likely lead to mass unemployment and under-employment, resulting in poverty. Companies may then have few buyers for their products and services.

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.
