That's coming, but qualitative decisions can't exactly be done without human input, which executives are reluctant to do, because qualitative decisions, not saying they can't be done by AI... they are just subject to change before an AI can actually have context to the impact. Context, AI has demonstrated it can't do well yet.
Context, like public sentiment. Context like health. Context like, white elephant or loss leaders and tradeoffs. Any of these will sink your business if both handled correctly. For instance, fiscal responsibility... it's easy to be fiscally responsible, just cut the programs. But if you aren't considering the people impacted by those programs, it will have downstream effects that can upend entire demographics.
I legit switched my career 7 months ago, because 1+1 decisions are going to get automated quicker than any of us can reskill. Decisions that involve perception, sentiment, health, and entire demos, won't be automated as quick, because there will be a public backlash.
They’re currently consolidating wealth so it won’t harm them.or how about the A.I. take over the CEO jobs..
then they the ones being assed out...
Never said there won’t be middle management. It will just take the biggest hit since it’s the costliest and a lot of middle managers don’t add enough value to justify their salaries. AI is constantly improving and companies are probably training systems right now using the input from middle managers to make them better. If you’re in middle management and far from retirement you better start finding ways to become an entrepreneur.

That's fair, middle management does take up the largest cost in aggregate, but the decisions at that level aren't easily automatable, because it's usually qualitative judges made on data, not decisions made purely with data. "Cut the head off a Hydra" for instance.

UBI is definitely coming... but it will be worse than the system we're already in. The Millionaire Class will quickly cut people who aren't playing ball. So expect less of a say unless you can go without that UBI check.

Everybody's job is at stake. It doesn't matter how long you have been there. Anybody that's been in the workforce knows this is the position they like to have people in to make them bend over and take it. They do not care about it.

Well replace the CEO too. 
I think it depends. There are a lot of people in middle management, especially cacs, who got there primarily from playing politics.
But they already do this today.
For example, I dare you to go to work tomorrow and say something about Gaza or Israel in the office breh. You'd quickly find yourself black listed and unemployable by lunch break
