The boss machine is here -- AI is all set to eliminate middle managment in 8 years
The massive pace at which companies are adopting automation and artificial intelligence may lead to elimination of middle management roles over the next decade. Smart machines will soon become co-workers -- changing the modus operandi of how employees work. According to Gartner, "People managers will focus on people-related activities that require intuition, empathy and interpersonal skills." A recent McKinsey report also said that nearly half of the activities undertaken by the workers could be automated -- including managing expertise. A lot of offices have already replaced secretaries with virtual assistants.
