Chief Executive Officers (CEO) holds a significant role in a company for its everyday operations, as well as big picture decisions for the progression of an organization. According to a press release, NetDragon Websoft appointed Ms. Tang Yu, an AI-powered virtual humanoid robot, as its new head to lead the company in its everyday operations.

The AI humanoid robot will focus on corporate management of the company, as well as bring improvements to the operational efficacy of its workforce. Ms. Yu's appointment greatly emphasizes the "AI + management" strategy, a significant milestone for the company towards its goals of "Metaverse organization."

NetDragon Websoft is a known Chinese gaming company that now centers on AI for the management of its entirety for the next-level integration of the technology in its operations. The company aims for the AI to "streamline process flow, enhance the quality of work tasks, and improve the speed of execution."

According to NetDragon, Tang Yu will also "serve as a real-time data hub and analytical tool to support rational decision-making in daily operations, as well as to enable a more effective risk management system."

AI and its Power

Artificial intelligence is more powerful in its recent developments, and it is better than what is thought of the technology as it brings significant development in multiple sectors that rely on its features. One notable AI is from a metaverse that recently joined America's Got Talent and secured a place in the semifinals for its singing talents that emulated the voice of its judge, Simon Cowell.

AIs got talent as well, as it brings the development of humans into deep learning technology to create outputs that far exceed human imagination, giving creators more than they asked for in the system. Another AI aims to help rappers write verses and produce lyrics for the music they create for the world, with the technology applicable to other applications.

Making decisions and deciding what is best for an entire company seems like a massive step for artificial intelligence systems in the world. Still, NetDragon Websoft is ready to take commands from an AI as its CEO. Before, humans only used AI to further technology and help humans with many processes, but now it is given a significant role in a gaming company.
