> Nearly half of CEOs — 49% — say AI could effectively replace “most,” or even “all,” of their own roles, and 47% say it might even be a good thing, according to a survey from online education platform edX. The poll, published on Tuesday, surveyed 1,600 full-time U.S. workers, including 800 C-suite executives and CEOs, as well as 800 non-executive workers.
That's over half _admitting_. You can bet that the real figure is higher, because no-one really _wants_ to get up and say "as a CEO, I did an obviously stupid thing".
I'm actually a little surprised they get this high a level of admission of incompetence; when a company does something stupid, a fairly common response is to carefully pretend it didn't happen.
I think at the end of the day there will be a tremendous skills amplification in many fields but the amount of work to be done will expand with the lowered cost and the amount of jobs will decrease less than the doomsayers are predicting.
What are these businesses magically replacing their workforce with AI? I genuinely want to know. If it’s disrupting this much why hasn’t there been a jump in GDP?
Laying off support workers and replacing them with a chatbot doesn’t count.
How so?
