Did AI Kill the Samsung CEO? Or Was It a Lack of It?

Image
The day after their CEO died, Samsung Electronics offices all over the world were abuzz with speculation about what might have led to the incident. Here are a few theories overheard around the coffee machines. 1.        He had a performance review meeting the next day, and his heart was expecting a pounding. To avoid this, it thought stopping was the best option. 2.        Since he was the super boss, he couldn’t bitch around with his colleagues about his boss. Lesson – it’s important to have an idiot boss because you must have someone to vent about, for the health of your heart. 3.        After running like a rat for decades and reaching the pinnacle, he realized – “Is that all? is this what I was running for?
