Big organizations are constantly trying to optimize the middle layers. Do you have a 5:1 reporting ratio so the manager really knows what everybody is doing, or do you have a 25:1 reporting ratio and cut out half the layers in the "telephone" miscommunication up the chain game? Seems like AI tools could bump up the optimal ration a little, if they're used well, but middle managers aren't the first group I'd pick to use something like an AI agent "well."
