AI to Eliminate Middle Managers, Says Airbnb CEO

AI to Eliminate Middle Managers, Says Airbnb CEO
AI will wipe out an entire layer of managers, Airbnb CEO Brian Chesky warns · wionews.com

Airbnb's CEO, Brian Chesky, thinks that AI will make many middle managers unnecessary.

These managers usually hold meetings and pass information between teams.

Chesky believes AI can do these tasks better.

Instead, future leaders should focus on doing the actual work, like lawyers analyzing cases or engineers building products.

Other tech leaders, like Coinbase's Brian Armstrong and Block's Jack Dorsey, agree.

They say AI helps engineers work faster and that there's no need for many middle managers.

This change might happen beyond just tech companies.
