A uniquely important thing that a CEO brings to the table is accountability. You can't automate accounta- ...sorry, I can't continue this with a straight face :DDD
The thing about C-suite executives is they usually have short tenures, however the management levels below them are often cozy in their bureaucracy, resist change, often trying to outlast the new management.
I actually argue that AI will therefore impact these levels of management the most.
Think about it, if you were employed as a transformational CEO would you risk trying to fight existing managers or just replace them with AI?
>I actually argue that AI will therefore impact these levels of management the most.
Not AI but bad economy and mass layoffs tend to wipe out management positions the most. As a decent IC, in case of layoffs in bad economy, you'll always find some place to work at if you're flexible with location and salary because everyone still needs people who know how to actually build shit, but nobody needs to add more managers in their ranks to consume payroll and add no value.
A lot of large companies lay off swags of technical staff regularly (or watch them leave), and rotate CEOs but their middle management have jobs for life - as the Peter Principe states, they are promoted to their highest respective incompetence and stay there because no CEO has time to replace them.
The make the decisions so I doubt they will soon themselves to be automated away. Their main risk will be that nobody can buy their products once everything is automated.
I wonder if capitalism and democracy will be just a short chapter in history that will be replaced by something else. Autocratic governments seem to be the most prevalent form of government in history.

Generally yes. The more power one holds in an organization the more safe they are from automation.
Yes. The AI cannot be the child/other type of beneficiary of a well-connected person, yet.
Automating away shareholders can't come soon enough.
