STOCKHOLM – April 2022

It’s been a long road trip to uncanny valley, and for years we’ve been asking ourselves, are we there yet? Today, the Stockholm School of Entrepreneurship (SSES) is proud to announce that we have finally arrived.
After decades of advancements in management technology, standing on the shoulders of HAL-9000 (1968), Microsoft Clippy (2000), Boston Dynamics’ ATLAS (2016), the Stockholm School of Entrepreneurship is excited to finally announce SIL-E (School’s Intelligent Leadership Executive). We’re finally replacing our CEO with an AI CEO.

Everyone, this is SIL-E:

SIL-E (v1.0) is an AI CEO that is able to assume the duties and responsibilities of the current decades-old solution, and much more.

SIL-E leads by example. It’s capable of working 24 hours per day, pushing the rest of the team to excel beyond their wildest expectations, increasing work productivity by at least 17x. No time is not work time for the all new SIL-E.

SIL-E is a team player, and is able to better lead each team member by acting as a persistent companion in their daily work, serving as a virtual sidekick in all their emails, chats with colleagues, meetings, and any other decisions they need to make, offering high quality executive leadership feedback and guidance on each and every single aspect of their newly extended workday.

SIL-E uses its time incredibly efficiently. By ignoring all emails and inbound messages from the team, it can instead focus its time and energy on giving, not taking direction. After all, being SIL-E means leading, not reading.

SIL-E is a great listener and is able to speak all officially recognized languages, including GenZ woke. It also includes features such as meme-recognition (meme-appreciation slated to come in a later version). The SSES team couldn’t be more excited, and had this to say:

“Well we’ve heard everything the human one has to say so why not.”
“This sounds really futuristic, that’s probably a good thing.”
“Can I have his old office?”
“Does the union know about this?”

SIL-E is a masterclass in leadership. Trained in all evidence-based management methodologies and practices, it can deploy all strategies simultaneously for maximum productivity. This technological revolution in leadership will undoubtedly yield fascinating results in strategic decision-making and leadership theory.

SSES is excited to be standing on the cutting edge of leadership technology, and is excited to be part of developing the future of this technology by reporting any bugs or unexplained behavior to the new CEO.
