According to a report, Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg is developing an AI agent designed to assist him in his role as CEO. The system is currently being trained and is expected to help Zuckerberg access information much faster than the traditional process of going through multiple teams and staff. This reflects a broader industry trend where AI is no longer just a tool for employees but is increasingly being used at the highest levels of company leadership.

Why it matters

The concept of AI helping, or even replacing, top executives is being discussed across the tech industry. Some experts believe AI could eventually do a better job of running a major company than a human CEO. This has sparked reactions online, with some users joking that even tech CEOs may not be safe if AI-driven leadership tools continue to improve.

The details

Zuckerberg is pushing Meta to adopt AI more aggressively across the organization. The company is using AI tools to speed up workflows and reduce organizational complexity, while Zuckerberg himself has reportedly started spending more time coding with AI. Meta employees are already using internal tools and personal AI assistants to access files, search chat logs, and manage projects more efficiently. The company is also investing heavily in AI infrastructure and acquiring startups focused on personal AI agents.

• In March 2026, The Wall Street Journal reported that Zuckerberg is developing an AI 'CEO agent'.
• Earlier this year, OpenAI CEO Sam Altman said at the India AI Impact Summit that AI could eventually do a better job of running a major company than a human CEO.
