TED Talk: Would You Be Happy to Follow a Robot Leader?

Once upon a time in the future you will have to choose between a human and an AI to lead a country. The idea may sound far-fetched but already some business leaders predicting that companies will have artificial intelligence (AI) in the boardroom, driving and making strategic decisions. Jack Ma, CEO of Alibaba, has said he expects to see an AI on the cover of TIME magazine as'CEO of the Year' by 2030. So, could you choose a robot over a human to lead, or would there be an immediate and unfounded irrational fear that would stop you? Why would we still find it hard to choose between a human or robot leader if big business will one day be run by an AI? Will AI be CEO of the Year by 2030?
