Have you ever wondered how you can record the work of a manager and his team? Of course, it probably comes to your mind to simply set up a camera, turn on the microphones and record the work of a team in some company. However, such a recording would have at least two serious drawbacks that would eliminate the results of that recording as material for building an artificial manager. First, the recording, even made with several cameras, would not

This will be the second part of my thoughts on the consequences of replacing a human manager with a robot. Without introduction we begin. There was first, second, third…. Fourth, the artificial manager will completely change the interactions in the work team. For now, for the sake of simplicity, I will assume in my posts that only the manager will be a robot, and the rest of the team members will continue to be human. However, let’s imagine for a

Automating a manager’s job is one thing, but the other side of the coin is the skills human managers need to master to cope with this automation. A few years ago, Harvard Business Review surveyed 1,770 managers in 14 countries about what skills managers need to develop in an era of widespread use of artificial intelligence. Here’s what the results of that survey are. Area 1: boring and tedious managerial activities As the first area, managers listed activities and tasks

You have learned from previous posts that, first, in order to replace some human work, it is possible to make a film of how that work is done and then try to replace a human in it, and second, that we cannot make a film depicting cognitive activities. Managerial activities are precisely cognitive activities. Can we really not? Let’s go back to the posts in which I described what the world of a robotic manager should look like. This world

In the previous post, I described how to create any mechanical robot to replace a given job, of course, if we can produce good enough mechanical mechanisms to simulate, for example, the actions of arms, legs, etc., and if we can equip such a robot with a human sense (for example, to judge the loudness of some phenomenon or to observe the environment). But what to do with another type of human work, which is thinking? We’re doing just fine
