You can evaluate effectiveness by company profits. One program might manage a business well enough to steadily increase profit, another may make a sharp profit before profit crashes (maybe by firing important workers) . Investors will demand the best CEObots

Edit to add: of course any CEObot will be more sociopathic than any human CEO. They won't care about literally anything unless a score is attached to it

This... requires a person to look at the profit numbers. To care about them, even. I'm not really sure what you're getting at.

I think you're saying that computers can be very good at chess, but we are the ones who decide what the rules to chess are.
