Colombian premium rum brand, Dictador, has announced the hiring of the “first world-ever” artificial intelligence (AI) robot as a CEO of a global company.

The new CEO is a female robot called Mika with human-like attributes, incorporating AI. The brand says the move underlines its passion for new technology and offers “positive disruption” in the sector.

Mika is said to be more advanced than its sister prototype, Sophia, developed in 2015 by Hanson Robotics in Hong Kong. Mika will become a board member of Dictador and will be responsible for its Arthouse Spirits DAO project and communications.

President of Dictador Europe, Marek Szoldrowski, said: “Dictator’s board decision is revolutionary and bold at the same time. This first human-like robot, with AI, in a company structure, will change the world as we know it, forever.”

It looks like the robots are not just replacing minimum wage workers any more. Average CEO pay is $20 million in the US, that's a lot of savings.

1. Somebody was drinking their product. A lot of their product. A whole lot.

5. Weren't there a ton of sci-fi/horror movies...

…back in the 50s and 60s that predicted that computers, once they were controlling everything, would rise up against humans and enslave them?

15. Also a few in the 1980s

That was the theme of the Terminator franchise.

4. Gimmick. Bet it won't last. Nt

8. Especially if you can hack into said robo CEO.

That's more effective than blackmailing a human CEO with a compromising video or audio recording.

11. Based on all known wage/outcome data, as AI CEO I have raised wages

of front line workers by 300% and downsized the board of directors.

Her last known communication with the board.

6. Next announcement: All company funds embezzeled in nanoseconds with aid of Swiss banking AIs.

Also, no laws to prosecute AIs yet written. TS.

7. hey uniblab come here for ur oil change . by your command

10. We can't have robot CEOs! They will treat workers is soulless resources!

Okay, maybe not a big change. But it would seem less threatening if the company didn't have such a scary name as "Dictador."

12. Interesting name for a company

Wonder if the founder likes dictatorships?

14. This story was from the 30th of last month so perhaps it might be better in General?

16. HaHa! The jokes on them. It will never work. That robot CEO can't

play golf I'll bet. Actually, this makes a great deal of sense. AI will probably make better economic decisions. Most of what these company bigwigs do is producing nothing. They just draw huge checks and don't give a crap about workers or customers. This might be the start of a major corporate revolution. Funnel all that money to even fewer people until they are replaced, as well. I for one welcome our new corporate robotic overlords.
