AI is already changing the corporate org chart
Briefly

AI is transforming traditional corporate hierarchies by flattening structures and reshaping job roles. Companies like Amazon, Moderna, and McKinsey are removing middle management layers, merging departments, and adopting AI to automate routine tasks. The C-suite is evolving with new leadership roles focusing on AI as power dynamics shift. Traditional org charts, characterized by a clear top-down structure, are giving way to more integrated and agile models. Entry-level and middle management positions are declining while the integration of AI influences how businesses operate and create value.
