Natural Evolution: A.I./bots in managerial positions

In my last article "Natural Evolution: From chatbots to fully A.I integrated applications", I touched upon the Artificially Intelligent member of staff I have been developing that assists businesses with running their day to day via the TechBubble GUI. Whilst developing the A.I. I had become stuck on the decision of whether or not the A.I. should have the ability to interact with its team members in a way that was outside of the scope of being a business assistant, in other words, should the A.I. be able to hold general conversation, to some degree, with its team members, or should it only be allowed to converse on subjects that are specific to the tasks in hand. After posting the questions, I realized that I should of worded question 1 better, but it actually raised some interesting views. What I had meant by "would you expect the A.I. to be a sort of authority that would answer and then prompt them to carry on work" was: would a business owner expect the A.I. to be able to answer general question to some extent, but ensure that it stayed on track with whatever task it was assisting its team member with, and make sure that the staff member was aware that it was not a chatbot to have fun with or general conversation. This part of the question seemed to be the part that was picked up on first by the people replying.
