To quote from the article: "A recent survey found that a quarter of Canadians believe that a computer program could perform better than their human boss. The study, performed by Intensions, a Vancouver consulting firm, surveyed 2,299 adult Canadians (over the age of 20) over the last six months and found that 26% of Canadians “believe an unbiased computer program would be more trustworthy and ethical than their workplace leaders and managers.”
The article went on to quote Nick Black, Managing Partner at Intensions, as saying that "the results regarding the perceived ethical abilities of a program-as-manager were not surprising…given, perhaps, the extent of trust in technology.”
