Robot Zuckerberg shows how IT can free up CEOs’ time

Mark Zuckerberg, the CEO of Meta, is building an AI version of himself.

The virtual CEO is being trained on Zuckerberg’s mannerisms and will be loaded with his views on corporate strategy, the Financial Times reported.

The idea is that employees will find the virtual Zuckerberg more accessible than they would the flesh and blood manifestation.

There are plenty of claims that AI will lead to jobs being eliminated but, until now, the CEO job has looked safe. If Zuckerberg’s experiment proves successful, though, even company leaders could be due for the chop.

In February, OpenAI’s Sam Altman warned that CEOs could be as vulnerable as other senior executives. “AI superintelligence at some point on its development curve would be capable of doing a better job being the CEO of a major company than any executive, certainly me,” Altman said. “On our current trajectory, we believe we may be only a couple of years away from early versions of true superintelligence.”

Klarna CEO Sebastian Siemiatkowski has already tempted fate, using an AI version of himself to present the company’s financial results to analysts, and even to take customer calls. So far, though, he’s kept his job.
