AI CEOs are in their manifesto era
AI CEOs keep publishing lengthy missives. While unlikely to be read beyond techies, the CEOs want to "own" the narrative, communications advisers say.
Several top AI executives, including Mark Zuckerberg, Dario Amodei, and Satya Nadella, have been publishing lengthy essays on artificial intelligence. These manifestos often provide predictions about the future of AI's impact on the economy and government. One reason for the extensive word count is the weight and gravitas the messages carry, according to communications adviser Patrick Riccards.
Zuckerberg, who is known for his concise communication style, published over 6,000 words in his latest manifesto. Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei has taken the longest essays to the next level, with his 2024 essay spanning over 13,000 words and being published as a book. Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella and OpenAI CEO Sam Altman have also contributed to the trend of lengthy AI essays.
Despite the trend, it is unclear if the general public is reading these lengthy essays, as Americans are increasingly turning to social video platforms like TikTok for content.
