What seems lacking in all of this "AI will take the jobs" talk is the concept of accountability.
Executives and many managers do not actually "do" very much at all.
But they are accountable for a LOT. Hence their higher market value.
If an AI tool can replace all the stuff a McKinsey analyst "does", people don't actually hire McKinsey for that. They hire them so someone outside can be accountable for documentation, recommendation, etc.
Whose head will role when the AI agent gets it wrong?
A lot of money is flowing into companies delivering AI services now. Sequoia Capital just made a big investment.
Again, to the extent it is really disruptive and permanent, it will be humans + AI for the foreseeable future.
I think it's possible that these AI agencies will get themselves in over their heads, though, when they try to dispatch systems that no human team is capable of wrapping their head around completely. Total speculation.

That's why you can't remove humans.
This is an excellent point.
