Why is the term “artificial leadership” not used in the literature?

There are two terms that were invented almost 40 years ago: artificial management and artificial leadership. I wrote about the first one a few days ago. The second – artificial leadership – is even more puzzling. When you type such a phrase into the Web of Science database, these words almost never appear side by side. We have various combinations of these words, e.g. LEADERSHIP IN ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE TIME, LEADERSHIP IN THE ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE ERA, but artificial leadership in the

When did the term “artificial management” first appear?

Are you familiar with this quote? “Artificial management by computers and expert systems–can perform pre-established, well-defined managerial tasks. Many technical and procedural decisions are best made by artificial managers. And what of the human managers? They are free to devote more time and energy to ambiguous, integrative areas such as strategy.” These sentences come from an article by E. Geisler, who in 1986 began a discussion on whether a robot manager could replace a human manager. See this article: Geisler,

Will artificial managers be everywhere?

I started working on the artificial manager, which I call the robot manager, in 2007. The idea came when, during business training, I had the opportunity to meet people running similar companies, and some of them were doing well, and others were doing badly. Some complained about their employees, others praised them. Seemingly similar companies, operating in the same industries, had completely different results. I was then reminded of Peter Drucker’s famous saying, which, somewhat paraphrased, reads “There are no

How did artificial intelligence evolve from pattern recognition to ChatGPT?

The Alan Turing Institute has extremely interesting videos on its YouTube channel about artificial intelligence and the development of computing techniques. One such video is a lecture by Professor Michael Wooldridge, who shows the path of development from pattern recognition, a method that has been evolving since the 1980s, to the current technology of language models, of which ChatGPT is a representative. The lecture is extremely interesting, as we will learn from it how images are recognized and why pattern

The world after ChatGPT: which professions will be quickly replaced by artificial intelligence?

For several months now, there has been an ongoing discussion about what effects the spread of artificial intelligence, which is identified with Chat GPT thanks to the company OpenAI, will have on societies. At the beginning of the creation of this blog, I cited an article from 2016, where several hundred scientists commented on their predictions for how artificial intelligence would replace humans in particular professions. A few months after that post, I have two observations. First, back in January
