Ask HN: Will we be able to replace corporate middle management with AI?

I'm only half joking. If we look at some of the tasks of middle management pulled from a google search...

- Developing their team by conducting reviews, delivering constructive feedback and coaching, creating and executing development plans, scheduling one-on-one meetings, co-creating objectives and professional goal-setting

- Ensuring frontline implementation of policies, procedures, and new change initiatives

- Defining objective and goal setting for their department, region, location, or division

- Implementing process and continuous improvements to reduce costs and increase profitability or contribution for the group they oversee

- Establishing and tracking budget, spend and revenue, as well as quarterly and annual goals and targets

- Driving a positive customer experience, independent of whether the customer is external or internal

- Keeping the pulse on competitors, new entrants, and possible disruptors

This all looks doable with current technology.

Also AI would have certain advantages such as honesty, fairness and integrity.
