This book is not about a human CEO who uses AI. Instead, it is about a CEO who is AI (a manager of humans, not merely an assistant to them). In recent years, the idea of an 'AI CEO' has been celebrated as a bold vision or dismissed as a joke. Beyond these emotional reactions, however, lies a serious question: 'What would it mean for humans to be fully managed by AI?' Put simply, 'What if your next boss were AI?' This book explores the philosophical, cultural, social, economic, psychological, and political implications of working under AI-based executive authority. The scenario is not futuristic, as some companies (e.g., Dictador and HeyBoss) have already begun adopting AI CEOs. The book, moreover, examines how AI CEOs and their human employees behave 'naughtily' towards one another. Humans learn from the AI CEO's naughtiness, and yet the AI CEO also learns from theirs. This back-and-forth naughtiness, thus, trains both AI and employees, making each of them naughtier. In this sense, the book 'demonises' both AI and humans.
