Gate News reports that on March 31, a survey conducted by Quinnipiac University among 1,397 American adults from March 19 to 23, 2024, showed that 15% of respondents are willing to accept AI programs as their direct supervisors, assigning tasks and setting schedules for them; but 70% of respondents believe that AI development will reduce job opportunities, and 30% of employed individuals worry that their positions will be replaced by AI. Meanwhile, the trend of AI replacing management is accelerating within companies: Workday has launched an AI agent capable of handling employee expense report approvals, Amazon has deployed AI workflows to replace middle management functions and laid off a large number of managers, and Uber engineers built an AI model of CEO Dara Khosrowshahi for pre-meeting proposal screening. Industry refers to this trend as “The Great Flattening.”
