The artificial boss

Could soon also take on management tasks: robots or artificial intelligence

The project is also seen by insiders as a retaliatory act and caused some gloating. A group of software developers who lost their jobs due to the use of artificial intelligence (AI) are now shaking up a throne that seemed untouchable, the executive chair. Sente Labs AI presents Open Executive, an AI CEO and eight subagents for individual areas - constantly in action, capable of learning and unbiased, the virtual boss makes decisions that he rationally justifies; All work steps are also documented. There are fees, but the artificial CEO is much cheaper than one made of flesh and blood.

Is the AI now eating its fathers? The open-source open executive model could certainly be expanded to include avatars that act according to criteria such as “megalomaniacal-apocalyptic” or “You shall have no other gods before me” in order to replace people like Sam Altman and Elon Musk. But the owners of capital will want to maintain their power as well as the myth of their uniqueness and irreplaceability. At best, they could use an AI double of themselves, as Mark Zuckerberg apparently plans to do. This would give simple believers the opportunity to communicate “personally” with the oligarchs who are otherwise distant from ordinary mortals.

With Open Executive and the subsequent models that are sure to come, there is a risk of cuts in another area of even more highly paid white collar work: management.

Open Executive is also likely to be used more as an advisory and control program for the time being, simply because civil law only recognizes people as contractual partners and some uncertainties remain. The AI still hallucinates too often and, as AI agents from Open AI recently demonstrated through cyber attacks, their compliance with the law is not in the best of minds either. How quickly such problems can be solved or sufficiently brought under control is unclear, but with Open Executive and the subsequent models that are sure to come, there is a risk of cuts in another area of even more highly paid white collar work: management.

This means that beloved capitalist myths are up for grabs. Is there really a gut feeling when it comes to business acumen that AI can't have? Do we really need human leadership skills to increase team performance? Managers remain necessary or at least useful for communication, but their activities are likely to be devalued because the AI has a better overview of the business. In the longer term, managers will probably be left with the implementation of AI findings that they guard but do not direct�� with corresponding negative consequences for status and income. The consequences for class and other social conditions are still difficult to predict; Managers would be the most powerful group to date affected by displacement by AI. Believing that they are invulnerable, the AI oligarchs are increasingly isolating themselves.
