AI Can (Mostly) Outperform Human CEOs
A fascinating new experiment pit AI against humans in a high-stakes CEO simulation. The study included 344 participants - both university students and senior banking executives. They competed against OpenAI's latest AI model in running a virtual automotive company. The results? The AI outperformed humans in nearly every business metric. That's from product design to market share growth.
The catch came during crisis scenarios. AI dominated day-to-day operations. But it got fired faster than top human players when faced with unexpected challenges like the Covid-19 pandemic. The study reveals AI's current sweet spot: not as a CEO replacement, but as a powerful decision-making partner.
