A new report by Resume Now uncovered growing support for AI in leadership, with 66% of workers surveyed saying AI-led management would make the workplace fairer and more efficient. Many believe AI could improve decision-making around promotions, performance reviews, and budgeting by removing bias and inconsistency. But the findings also show clear limits. While employees trust AI with logic-based tasks, most say emotional support, motivation, and conflict resolution still require a human touch.

The survey of more than 900 U.S. workers also found:

73% support AI having a say in hiring, layoffs, and budgeting
55% believe AI could make better promotion decisions than humans
34% would prefer to report to an AI boss
62% still prefer a human manager
85% say more AI transparency would increase trust in leadership
39% worry about surveillance or data misuse by AI systems
