There's no reason the 'AI revolution' shouldn't also impact the C-suite, right ?

A group of developers who were let go due to AI efficiency savings have struck back at the executives who are often shielded from AI-induced [pcmag.com] layoffs by creating OpenExecutive [github.com], an AI tool designed to augment and replace executive decision-making, TechRadar reports [techradar.com].

"Work happens around the clock. Leadership doesn't scale with it," a demo video says. Using the kind of language that executives have grown comfortable throwing around about AI replacing workers over the past years, it suggests the bottleneck to productivity and enhanced profitability at companies isn't a lack of worker enhancements; it's that leadership can't keep up.

So why not replace them with AI ?

OpenExecutive presents as a singular AI for interactive purposes. However, in making its C-Suite-grade decisions, it leans on a virtual board of eight AI agents designed to emulate experts within an organizational structure. The singular voice is backed by an emulated CSO, CFO, HR officer, COO, marketing chief, a product officer, and a board comms director. Each of them can lean on the main executive AI to guide its actions and suggestions.

They can all draw from company documents and data, remember their decisions, and trace back reasoning for that if you want to follow up on why they decided to do certain things.
