It’s not the simple optimizations fed to them by consultants that makes them necessary and not able to be replaced by AI.<p>Great CEOs are leaders of people. People cannot be led by AI. AI cannot go to dinner with an important partner or make their leadership team feel valued.<p>It is these uniquely human things that make a great CEO great. If all they do is plug in formulas, which I think is a gross oversimplification of the complexities of being a modern CEO, then they should be replaced by AI. But that will not happen anytime soon.
