AI Could Be the Future Leader: How Workplaces Are Changing
In a Kibertér broadcast, they examined what it would be like if an artificial intelligence took over the role of a boss. AI is already playing a part in recruitment, performance evaluation, and decision support, but the question of responsibility remains open.
