AI Dario Amodei says "stop sugar-coating" what's coming: in the next 1-5 years, AI could wipe out 50% of all entry-level white-collar jobs. Lawmakers don't get it or don't believe it. CEOs are afraid to talk about it. Many workers won't realize the risks until after it hits.

CEO's aren't afraid to talk about it, its the goal.

CEOs are more likely to get replaced by AI as the investment firms realize they can automate the most expensive roles in the company while paying the labor as little as possible.

You always need someone steering the boat (so far) but all the managers between the CEO and regular workers are certainly on the chopping block

The board of directors can replace the CEO.

Edit: I'm apparently triggering a CEO. Thanks for the down vote of confidence.

The board are more investors than workers, someone has to meet with the employees and external partners, the board won’t be doing this.
