It’s unclear to me how one could fine-tune high quality automated-CEO AI without such training sets (which I agree are impractical to gather — that was actually part of my point, though one might have access to, say, a CEO’s email logs, diary, and meeting transcripts). Similarly, to train one using RL, one would need an accurate simulation environment that simulates a startup and all its employees, customers, competitors, and other world events — which also sounds rather impractical.
In practice, I suspect we’ll first train an AI assistant/advisor to CEOs. and then use that to gather the data to train an automated CEO model. Or else we’ll train something so capable that it can generalize from more tractable training tasks to being a CEO, and do a better job than a human even on a task it hasn’t been specifically trained on.
