A new survey from Resume Builder found that 60% of managers are using AI tools to make critical business and personnel decisions, allowing the tech to determine raises, promotions, and firings with minimal oversight or training.
The details:
- Resume Builder surveyed 1,342 managers and found that 78% use AI to determine raises, 77% for promotions, and 64% for terminations.
- ChatGPT dominated as the primary tool for 53% of AI-using managers, followed by Microsoft Copilot at 29% and Google Gemini at 16%.
- One in five managers also frequently allow AI to make final decisions without human review, despite most never receiving formal AI training or guidelines.
- Nearly half of the managers were asked to evaluate whether AI could replace their team members, with 43% following through on replacements.
Why it matters: AI is already entrenched in the managerial department — but just as entry-level jobs have been the first to be automated, lower-level employees are again those being impacted by supervisors offloading decisions to ChatGPT. As models scale in intelligence, will owners automating managers out of the equation be next?
