Cerebras Big Chip Club: Can AI Replace Executive Assistants? with Naji Jackson
A veteran executive assistant argues AI cannot fully replace human judgment in EA roles
“It's like my partner while I sleep. I can go to bed peacefully knowing that the work will be done.”
Cerebras hosted a 'Big Chip Club' interview with Nadi, a 20-year veteran executive assistant to tech leaders including the ex-CEO of Scale AI and Guillermo Rauch, exploring whether AI can replace EA roles. The conversation highlights the highly dynamic, judgment-intensive nature of EA work — from wardrobe decisions to guest list curation — suggesting human discretion remains essential. While framed around AI's potential, the content is more anecdotal career narrative than a concrete AI industry signal.
