Is Enterprise AI really going to replace employees?

The short answer is yes.

The short answer is yes. A more in-depth explanation must begin with not anytime soon.

Based on what I’ve seen:

  • Non-skilled labor is expected to decline within the next few years.

  • Low-skilled labor will be augmented with AI assistance for the short term.

  • High-skilled labor will be augmented with AI assistance for the long term.

Where is change occurring?

  • Most of the big impact AI projects are within tech companies, banks, and information brokers.

  • The current areas of staff reduction are in customer service, HR, and IT services.

  • Sales and marketing activities are the next to become automated.

Here’s Why:

  • Agentic AI is already replacing repetitive tasks and reducing the need for headcount.

  • However, AI Assistants are good but still error-prone.

  • The big issue is that AI Policies are not in place to manage something going wrong.

What to do:

  • Push for AI Policies within your organization.

  • Understand the complexities of correcting AI when it becomes problematic.
