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.

I was then reminded of Peter Drucker’s famous saying, which, somewhat paraphrased, reads “There are no

Let’s go back for a moment to the idea that in the future you will sit at the same conference table together with humanoid robots that will work in your team. Today this idea is becoming more and more real, although in the world of artificial intelligence a surprisingly small role is attached to the fact that, however, it is not just an electronic mind, located somewhere in the cloud, but it would be nice to be able to pat

How will artificial intelligence affect the education of young people?

When ChatGPT came out, everyone started wondering how artificial intelligence would affect the education of young generations. Its impact will certainly be huge, from the fact that we no longer really know what content is created by humans and what content is created by AI, to taking work away from teachers and lecturers. I myself see several phenomena here that will increase over time and the emergence of more versions of artificial intelligence. As I write this, I assume that
