调查显示：15%美国人愿接受AI主管，职场“扁平化革命”悄然兴起

一项由昆尼皮亚克大学于2026年3月开展的民意调查显示，约15%的美国成年人表示，他们可以接受由人工智能程序担任自己的直接主管，负责分配任务和安排工作日程。这项针对全美1397名成年人的调查揭示了公众对人工智能进入管理领域的复杂态度：尽管多数人仍倾向于人类管理者，但AI在职场中的管理职能正逐步扩大。

目前，多家科技企业已开始将AI应用于管理层面。Workday公司推出可自动处理报销审批的AI代理，亚马逊则通过部署AI工作流程替代部分中层管理职能，并在此过程中削减了数千个管理岗位。优步工程师甚至开发了模拟CEO的AI模型，用于在正式会议前预审项目提案。

这一趋势被部分观察者称为“大扁平化”——企业正利用AI技术缩减管理层级，提升运营效率。有观点预测，未来甚至可能出现完全由自动化员工和高管构成的“单人公司”。

然而，人工智能的快速渗透也引发职场焦虑。调查中，70%的受访者认为AI发展将减少人类工作机会；30%的在职者担心自己的岗位可能因AI而消失。这场技术变革如何在提升效率与保障就业之间取得平衡，将成为未来职场演进的关键议题。

你愿意用你的上司换一个聊天机器人吗？越来越多的美国人给出了肯定的答案。

昆尼皮亚克大学周一发布的民意调查显示，15%的美国人表示愿意接受由人工智能程序担任直属主管的工作，这些程序负责分配任务和制定日程。该调查于2026年3月19日至23日期间进行，共访问了1397名美国成年人，内容涉及人工智能应用、信任度及职业焦虑等问题。

当然，大多数受访者表示不愿将人类上司替换为人工智能管理者。但即使不直接领导整个团队，人工智能作为管理工具的应用正日益普及。

诸如Workday等公司已推出能够代员工提交并审批费用报告的人工智能代理。亚马逊部署了全新的人工智能工作流程，取代部分中层管理职责，并在此过程中裁减了数千名管理人员。优步的工程师甚至构建了首席执行官达拉·科斯罗萨西的人工智能模型，用于在实际会面前筛选提案。

在各行各业，人工智能正被用于取代多层管理体系，这种现象被某些观察家称为"大扁平化革命"。或许很快我们将见证完全由自动化员工和高管运作、市值数十亿美元的"单人企业"诞生。

美国人对这种趋势带来的职业前景感到忧虑。昆尼皮亚克调查中70%的多数受访者认为，人工智能的发展将导致人类就业机会减少。在已就业的美国人群中，30%的受访者非常或较为担心人工智能会直接导致其岗位被淘汰。

Would you trade your manager for a chatbot? A growing number of Americans are saying yes.
According to a Quinnipiac University poll published Monday, 15% of Americans say they’d be willing to have a job where their direct supervisor was an AI program that assigned tasks and set schedules. Quinnipiac surveyed 1,397 adults in the United States and conducted the poll — which included questions about AI adoption, trust, and job fears — between March 19 and 23, 2026.
Of course, the majority of respondents said they wouldn’t be willing to swap their human boss for an AI people manager. But the use of AI as a supervisor is gaining in popularity, even if one isn’t directly in charge of steering entire teams of people.
Companies like Workday have launched AI agents that can file and approve expense reports on employees’ behalf. Amazon has deployed new AI workflows to replace some of the responsibilities of middle management, laying off thousands of managers in the process. Engineers at Uber even built an AI model of CEO Dara Khosrowshahi to field pitches before meetings with their actual boss.
Across organizations, AI is being used to replace layers of management in what some are calling “The Great Flattening.” Soon, we may start to see entire billion-dollar companies of one, with fully automated employees and executives.
Americans are wary about what that means for their job prospects. The majority of respondents in Quinnipiac’s survey — 70% — said they believe advances in AI will lead to a decrease in the number of job opportunities for people. Among employed Americans, 30% were either very concerned or somewhat concerned that AI would make their job specifically obsolete.
