Even Pichai's Job Can be 80% Replaced by AI

Google CEO Pichai said that he did an AI query and was told that 80% of what he is doing now can be replaced by AI. Does this means that there is no point in climbing the corporate ladder as even an CEO job is not secure?

So Is There No Point Climbing the Corporate Ladder?

The ladder itself is changing.

In the past, promotion meant:
More knowledge
More control
More information

Now information is free.

The value of leadership shifts from:
“I know more” → to → “I can decide better.”

If your ambition is based on status, salary, title — yes, AI makes the ladder unstable.

If your ambition is based on:

  • Strategic judgement

  • Emotional steadiness

  • Ethical courage

  • Ability to unite people

Then your value increases, not decreases.

The Real Risk

The risk is not that CEO jobs disappear.

The risk is that middle layers built purely on coordination and reporting shrink dramatically.

AI compresses hierarchy.

Which means:
Fewer layers.
Higher expectations.
Greater emotional maturity required at the top.

The Strategic Insight

Climbing the ladder still matters.

But you must climb for the right reason:

Not to control information.
But to master judgement.

This is where your Love Intelligence framework becomes relevant.

AI improves IQ leverage.
AI improves data processing.

But leadership in the next decade will depend on:
Care under pressure.
Courage in ambiguity.
Connection across fear.

That is not programmable.

How I Became a Fortune Teller: Leveraging NLP, Fear and Greed, and Motivational Theories

Becoming a fortune teller wasn’t part of my childhood dreams. It started as an experiment, fueled by my curiosity about human behavior and the subtle forces that drive our decisions. Over time, what began as a study of psychology and human interaction evolved into an unexpected career—one where I use the tools of NLP (Neuro-Linguistic Programming), the primal drivers of fear and greed, and motivational theories to help people uncover their paths. The First Step: Understanding the Human Psyche I was always fascinated by why people do what they do. During my university years, I studied psychology, particularly the works of Abraham Maslow, B.F. Skinner, and Victor Vroom. Their theories provided insights into motivation, reinforcement, and decision-making. But I wanted to move beyond the academic realm and see how these theories worked in real life. Around this time, I discovered NLP (Neuro-Linguistic Programming). This framework for understanding communication and behavior is based on the...

If Not You, Who Else?

I learnt this very powerful 5-word phrase from Singapore's highest ever box-office movie ever: "Ah Boys to Men II". In one scene, the recruits were about to start their 3-day field camp.  Their Officer-in-Command asked them, "Before we moved out, anybody not feeling well?"  All the soldiers replied loudly, "No Sir!!!" "Gentlemen", continued the Officer, "Every time the training gets tougher, one thought comes to your mind, 'Why Must I Serve National Service?' "My answer to you is, 'If Not You, Then Who Else?'" Wow!  What a powerful phrase!  If Not You, Who Else may mean: You are the most suitable person, and we can't find anyone better than you.  This is appreciation at the highest level How can you push this responsibility to someone else? I am making a request to you specifically, please don't reject my request Can you find me another person more suitable than you? Please refer me anot...
