>He resigned as managing director of Target in April 2016 because of accounting irregularities that he was unaware of but "happened on [his] watch".[4] He then became the chief executive of Steinhoff International.[4] (which seemed to have a lot of issues too https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Steinhoff_International#Debt_p...)
Foresight to mitigate potential major issues is exactly what CEOs are expected to do. I'm not sure how being unaware of major account irregularities is not seen as a career ending move here.
AI replacing CEOs seems straightforward as well. Accounting is such a data driven environment i think spotting account irregularities early would be straightforward. Likewise AI has the potential to think past short term thinking that leads to IT outsourcing (to the extent the store is not coming back online anytime soon!).
I'm not sure I want AI replacing all CEO's, ideally it would raise the bar for quality and performance forcing human CEO's to compete.
