Odaily Planet Daily reports that Cobo co-founder and CEO Shen Yu stated on social media that the development of AI Agents will have a profound impact on organizational structures. The disruption will not target individual skills but the management systems that have long centered around standard operating procedures (SOPs).
He pointed out that traditional companies continuously layer SOPs to regulate human execution processes. If autonomous AI with planning capabilities is simply embedded into existing workflows, it may lead to internal efficiency losses. In the future, companies might reconstruct processes around “intent and boundaries,” with humans setting goals and rules, while AI autonomously optimizes execution. Humans will take on supervisory and decision-making roles.
Shen Yu believes that as AI participation increases, departmental barriers and middle management oversight functions may weaken, and organizational forms are expected to evolve toward more efficient, dynamic collaboration models.
