Klarna used an Avatar of the CEO to deliver profits, she said

Klarna Used An Avatar Of The Ceo To Deliver Profits,

Sebastian Siemiatkowski leans all the way all the way to the idea that the start of the Buy-Now-Pay-Pay-Pay-Pay Klarna is an AI company. When Klarna gave up -to -date quarterly profits on Monday, it was AI Avatar (depicted above) which presented the main points, According to the company’s YouTube video.

In addition to the entrance of AI Siemiatkowski, it was not obvious that this was AI. There were only a few minutes signs: AI Siemiatkowski does not flash like most people. The voice synchronization was good, but not perfect. AI also wore a brown jacket that looked a lot like this A widely circulated corporate photo of his human self (though the shirt was different).

Klarna, who is preparing to make her debut as a public company, used the up -to -date finances to Tout AI as a driving factor to hit 100 million users. It took the use of AI for a fourth consecutive profitable quarter, explaining that “it smooths its workforce by ~ 40%”, the company said in his post on the blogIncrease revenue per employee to nearly $ 1 million.

Human Siemiatkowski specified in CNBC that “the company has shrunk by about 5,000 so far almost 3,000 employees”.

He is not the first CEO to entertain the idea of ​​an AI that replaces a CEO. AI Sales Startup Artisan, known for his advertising campaign “Stop Hiring Humans”, posted a video of the April Fool of Jaspar Carmichael-Jack’s April CEO fired and replaced by an AI chief executive.

But maybe the idea of ​​AIS that replaces CEOS is not a joke. While it is certainly true that some CEO-especially in the newly established businesses-take their hands dirty coding characteristics or cold call prospects, the main jobs of the Managing Director are to set strategy, make decisions and take responsibility for these decisions.

Who is better than an AI built on a SATA reasoning model to assimilate large data samples of the company, study the GOBS successful business strategy and use it to make decisions? In fact, research published in Harvard Business Review last year found that one AI could mainly exceed human chief executivesBased on a model using GPT-4O.

However, the CEO of AI was also quickly fired by the virtual study council. This is due to the fact that he responded wrongly to “Black Swan events, as the market collapses during the Covid-19 pandemic,” according to researchers. Still, as AI supporters want to point out, these are the first days. The future CEO of AI can learn to excel in it too.

Klarna did not immediately respond to a request for further comments.
