Jack Ma says the best CEO will be a ROBOT in 30 years

Chinese billionaire has said that the world's best CEO will be a robot within the next 30 years. The 52-year-old founder of Alibaba - China's equivalent of eBay and the world's largest retail platform - warned that robots will bring'far more pain than happiness' in the next three decades. But he added that artificial intelligence will ultimately improve our everyday lives. Self-made billionaire and China's second richest man Jack Ma (pictured) has warned that robots rule over the world's biggest companies within 30 years Ma, who is worth £22.8 billion ($28.4 billion), said that advances in technology will render CEOs irrelevant within the next 30 years. 'In 30 years, a robot will likely be on the cover of Time Magazine as the best CEO,' Ma said in a speech over the weekend at an entrepreneurship conference in central China, according to CNN.
