The manager role has evolved

With AI on your team, managers now have a new set of responsibilities.

 

  • Oversee AI projects and systems
  • Review work done by people and AI
  • Set expectations for how AI is used day to day
  • Hire talent with AI skills
  • Develop AI skills on your team

"Managers are expected to validate AI outputs, identify errors, coach their teams in AI skills and core on-the-job principles, and uphold quality standards—all while facing increased delivery pressure and lacking formal support structures."

  • Identify where AI fits in their team’s work
  • How to lead and collaborate on AI projects
  • Build AI confidence and adoption across teams
  • Guide teams through changes to roles, skills, and workflows
  • Set clear standards for responsible, high-quality AI use
  • Build the AI capabilities teams need next 

"95% of HR leaders say middle managers are the most crucial factor in ensuring employees use AI effectively and 92% say they are crucial to redefining job roles as AI reshapes day-to-day work."

YOUR AI AMBASSADOR

I'm Nicolle Merrill

I'm the CEO of Boring AI, an AI fluency company that's trained 45,000+ professionals across 13 countries on how to work with AI. Before launching Boring AI, I spent 7 years building human-centered AI products for HR, fintech, and engineering teams.

Throughout my work training non-technical teams for AI, I've noticed a pattern: managers lack specific career support to lead AI-enabled teams.

Managing AI Lab exists to fix that gap. We show managers how to integrate AI into their teams and grow their career in an AI-filled workplace.
