AI will not replace the worker. It will replace management

SAPO Notícias9 September 2026 at 08:04

The article describes a scenario where an artificial intelligence system assumes management and monitoring functions of workers in an organization. At eight past three in the morning, before the manager's arrival, the system was already operating autonomously, collecting data on each worker.

The AI system monitored and analyzed in real time metrics such as delays, productivity, time spent on specific tasks, absences, and deviations from the performance curve. At eight past seven, a first report was ready, and at eight past twelve three workers had already been flagged.

The system also autonomously proposed corrective interventions. At eight past nineteen, it suggested an intervention, and at nine past four a responsible party opened and validated the report.

The article concludes by questioning whether this situation is still science fiction or if it is already a reality in some organizations, suggesting that AI tends to replace management and supervision functions rather than replacing the workers themselves.

OpenAI resolves decades-old mathematical enigma in 88 hours

OpenAI managed to solve a decades-old mathematical problem in just 88 hours, using an innovative approach that involved more than 10,000 artificial intelligence agents working in a coordinated manner. During the process, the system produced more than 130 billion tokens, the basic unit used to measure the volume of content generated. This achievement demonstrates the potential of multi-agent systems in solving complex problems that have challenged human mathematicians for decades.

Almost half of Portuguese students use AI weekly, but only 57% learn to evaluate it

Almost half of Portuguese students use artificial intelligence at least once a week, a figure above the OECD average, but only 57% receive training to critically evaluate the responses generated by these tools. The new PISA results also reveal a significant decline in reading and mathematics skills and warn of inequalities in access to future digital skills.

O GLOBO and nine other newsrooms in Latin America are participating in the new AI-Powered Next Gen News Sprint

O GLOBO and nine other Latin American newsrooms participate in the AI-Powered Next Gen News Sprint, an eight-month program created by the News Product Alliance and the Google News Initiative to develop artificial intelligence products aimed at young audiences. The initiative addresses a global challenge for newsrooms: young people aged 18 to 28 consume news through social media, messaging apps, and aggregators, and no longer directly on news outlets' websites, representing only 2% to 5% of subscriptions and revenue in most newsrooms. The program seeks to create AI-based solutions to reconnect this audience with journalism.
