Dictador hires "world's first" AI robot CEO in a global company

Source: FoodBev Media, Ltd

Colombian premium rum brand, Dictador, has announced the hiring of the “first world-ever” artificial intelligence (AI) robot as a CEO of a global company.

The new CEO is a female robot called Mika with human-like attributes, incorporating AI. The brand says the move underlines its passion for new technology and offers “positive disruption” in the sector.

Mika is said to be more advanced than its sister prototype, Sophia, developed in 2015 by Hanson Robotics in Hong Kong. Mika will become a board member of Dictador and will be responsible for its Arthouse Spirits DAO project and communications.

President of Dictador Europe, Marek Szoldrowski, said: “Dictator’s board decision is revolutionary and bold at the same time. This first human-like robot, with AI, in a company structure, will change the world as we know it, forever.”

It looks like the robots are not just replacing minimum wage workers any more. Average CEO pay is $20 million in the US, that's a lot of savings.

…back in the 50s and 60s that predicted that computers, once they were controlling everything, would rise up against humans and enslave them?

That's more effective than blackmailing a human CEO with a compromising video or audio recording.

Okay, maybe not a big change. But it would seem less threatening if the company didn't have such a scary name as "Dictador."

play golf I'll bet. Actually, this makes a great deal of sense. AI will probably make better economic decisions. Most of what these company bigwigs do is producing nothing. They just draw huge checks and don't give a crap about workers or customers. This might be the start of a major corporate revolution. Funnel all that money to even fewer people until they are replaced, as well. I for one welcome our new corporate robotic overlords.
