Meet Your AI Manager: Office Life in 2026

Somatirtha

By 2026, your daily to-do list may be assigned by an AI, not a human boss.

AI managers will track performance in real time, analysing output, speed and collaboration.

Meetings could shrink as AI summaries replace long calls and status updates.

Promotions and appraisals may rely on data-driven insights, not gut feeling.

AI will optimise work schedules, nudging employees to focus, pause or log off.

Chatbots may handle approvals, leave requests and conflict resolution.

Managers won’t disappear — they’ll supervise AI, not just people.

Productivity will rise, but concerns over surveillance and bias will grow.

Office life in 2026 won’t be human vs AI — it’ll be human plus AI.
