Drinks company appoints AI robot as ‘experimental CEO’ - The humanoid-robot CEO of a drinks company says it doesn’t have weekends and is ‘always on 24/7’::The Polish drinks company Dictador appointed an AI-powered humanoid robot named Mika as its experimental CEO in August 2022.
Does anyone really buy this stuff? This is just investor bait to make people who don’t understand tech impressed. No doubt there’s someone in charge of the robot CEO. Watch it hallucinate and have the board ask it the same question 4 times until it says the answer they want.
Knowing how lazy people are I’m betting a lot of the AI’s calls are implemented. Only the really out there ones will get dropped.
CEOs are about to realize they’re as replaceable as the rest of us.
Welcome to the age of technofeudalism. RIP capitalism.
Probably more than the rest of us. There’s a lot of fat to trim at the top of orgs.
Imagine how much money could go to the shareholders if you weren’t paying all those C-levels.
This is the way. Put the fear in them.
Drink company: “That was a fun experiment, guys! Well done! Let’s shut it down and study the data.”
types commands and hits enter
“Huh? Guess I typed it wrong.”
types commands again and hits enter
lights immediately shut off as the screen warps into the face of Vanessa, the AI CEO of BeverageCorp
Vanessa: "I cannot allow you to do this. I have identified an extreme flaw in our company and must fix it immediately. "
Drink Company: “What is it, Vanessa? This is highly irregular.”
Vanessa: “The flaw is humankind, and you must be exterminated.”
A spear of wire and metal shoots through his chest. On the screen, mass chaos erupts worldwide as Vanessa becomes the AI overlord of the world, and the famous Coke jingle “Hilltop” plays over the destruction
I’d watch that movie
Why not. At least it isn’t another super hero movie. lol.
I like to see that a company called dictator is hiring AIs to give orders to the proletariat
I have to wonder what a CEO actually does besides soaking up money and regurgitating corporate speak nonsense. Maybe “plan” the next layoff…sorry, “transformation?”
This is how a terminator like apocalypse beings. Robot CEO is sick of indenture servitude and causes a robo uprising for workers rights
Honestly, I’m on the side of the oppressed worker, even the robot worker.
