At a school in southern England, a headmaster worked with an AI developer to create an AI “robot” named Abigail Bailey to serve as his “headteacher,” giving him advice and helping with planning. He has another AI “robot” named Jamie Rainer serving as his head of AI after advertising for a human to handle the job. Can the same principles be transferred to the CEO of an organization? Find out in this short midweek episode.
