Artificial intelligence is making it possible for companies to replace humans in tasks that range from modeling sweaters to participating in clinical trials.
Gartner refers to the technology as “digital humans”—and estimates that in the near future companies might have digital twins for every customer. This can include incorporating behavioral and demographic data available from their own databases and from publicly available databases like where they live, etc. You can of course create your own digital twin now using AI, including duplicating your voice so that it is virtually indistinguishable from the real you.

From the WSJ
Traits that ultimately make for better leaders are not the traits that get people selected for leadership to begin with. The game that must be played to get into leadership to start with includes traits of narcissism and overconfidence. Research has shown that the selection process mistakes confidence for competence and is drawn to narcissistic leaders who promise they have all the answers and can solve
all the problems but prove to be
ineffective leaders over time.
