There is one and only one measure of whether a CEO is good or bad:

Does the CEO keep the majority of shareholders happy?

Since they are more often than not kept happy with money, if the AI makes the CEO ask the question above and the result is a larger return on the shareholders' investment, then that is a good CEO.

When your domain of knowledge considers Jack Welch to be a genius, there is no floor.
