Block CEO Jack Dorsey, writing jointly with lead independent director Roelof Botha, has outlined a concrete bet that artificial intelligence can replace what middle managers have done in large organizations for generations. The company is implementing a structural transformation in which AI takes on work currently handled by layers of human management, representing one of the most significant organizational experiments in corporate America today.
If this transformation holds at scale, the implications would reach well beyond Block to potentially reshape organizational structures across multiple industries. The company has already restructured thousands of jobs around this premise, making the experiment well underway regardless of whether the theory ultimately proves successful. This move comes as other disruptive technologies like quantum computing are being developed by enterprises such as D-Wave Quantum Inc. (NYSE: QBTS), suggesting a broader technological transformation of the employment landscape.
