One CEO, one CFO, one CHRO and one CIO. Four companies, and one question none of them owns alone.For over 100 years, the salary line has been the biggest cost on most P&Ls. That line is now splitting. As AI agents take on real work, some of it moves to agents and some of it stays human. So who in the company actually decides where that line sits?Season 6 of Rolling Stories starts here. We left the studio and recorded live in front of students at Singapore Polytechnic, with four leaders who did not always agree.
