Is it possible to construct a universal artificial manager for a certain class of ongoing projects?

An important question when constructing an artificial manager concerns what it is supposed to do. When I talk to management specialists, managers and programmers, the question is always asked about the purpose of such a machine. Sometimes the machine here just means software, and sometimes people imagine a figure that sits behind a desk and manages a team (most often dismissing subordinate people).

How can an artificial manager motivate employees? Part 1

In 2020, Dr. Adrian Pyszka and I received funding to develop our first phone app to act as a powerful online managerial tool, a well-known research platform called TransistorsHead.com. We thought for a long time about what organizational size to choose in order to design a mechanism used by the manager on this basis, but easy to automate and replace the human manager with a robot. The choice fell on the managerial activity that every team manager undertakes, even if
