In another piece of evidence that justifies the debate about whether AI is a boon or bane for humans, a global company is claiming that it has hired the world’s first ever AI robot as CEO, Mika.
Who Is The World’s First AI Robot CEO Mika?
In what is being said to be the world’s first such move, a Polish alcohol-beverage company has announced that it has appointed an AI-powered humanoid robot to lead the firm. Dictador announced that it will engage the services of humanoid ‘Mika’ as its CEO to steer its operations.
How Was Mika Created?
AI-human-like robot CEO Mika is the result of a collaboration between Dictador and Hanson Robotics, a Hong Kong-based engineering and robotics company known for its development of human-like robots with AI for consumer, entertainment, service, healthcare, and research applications. As per an ET report, Hanson earlier hit headlines in 2016 with the famed humanoid Sophia, who once said that she would “destroy humans”.

What She Said In Her Interview?
“I don’t really have weekends—I’m always on 24/7, ready to make executive decisions and stir up some AI magic,” the AI-human like CEO Mika told Reuters in a “video interview” at the time.
Recently, a Fox Business reporter interviewed Mika over a video call. And to her surprise, she found that there was a “significant delay” in the time it takes for the robot to actually respond. As per the report, in a Dictador company video, Mika said that “with advanced artificial intelligence and machine learning algorithms, I can swiftly and accurately make data driven.”
“My decision-making process relies on extensive data analysis and aligning with the company’s strategic objectives,” it said. Mika added that it is devoid of personal bias, ensuring strategic choices that prioritise the organisation’s best interests.

Why Was AI CEO Hired?
Meanwhile, Hong Kong-based robotics company Hanson’s CEO, David Hanson, stressed the importance of “humanising” artificial intelligence.
“I feel very strongly that we need to teach A.I. to care about people for A.I. to be really safe, to be really, really good. I think humanizing that is a very important direction,” Hanson was quoted as saying in an interview to Fox Business.
