When we think of an artificial manager, it keeps coming to mind what this new creature that will move into your boss’s office sooner or later might look like. Should your artificial manager take the form of a human like Sophia, a C-3PO-style robot from Star Wars, an all-powerful Robocop or just a single red point of light like HAL 9000 from the movie 2001: A Space Odyssey? What your artificial manager will be like, we’ll see in a few

Will machines take away our jobs? A report from DAVOS – and yet so will managers!
