I think CEOs are terrified of AI and all the talk of “replacing workers” is more a wish list or a cope than a prediction.

Personally I think AI is super useful, but at my job the amount of progress we’ve made has basically ground to a halt compared to before AI.

The reason is that the people who they chose to lead the new, most innovative “AI initiatives” were the least innovative most corporate drone-y people I’ve ever met. The kind of people who in 2025 would unironically say stuff like “we need to work on our corporate synergies”.

They never wanted innovation, they just wanted people to toe the line for as long as possible until they could jump the sinking ship.
