[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If AI would take over doctor jobs, what would happen to all other lawyers, accountant, bankers? I think doctors will be the least impacted. [/quote]

Everyone will be impacted. All of those professions will continue to exist. But we will need fewer people to perform the current work. Where we once had a team of three accountants working on a complex matter, we might only need one.

What will happen to the other two accountants? They will have to level up their skills and value to meet a higher level need. If they can’t, they will need to transition to something else. Because clients will not continue to pay that labor cost once AI can generate the same value more quickly and in a more cost-effective manner. [/quote]

You have a point but  . . . A team of three accountants never did anything.  For an audit of a big global company, an audit firm would have over a thousand accountants working on it.  Sometimes way more.  Might you eliminate a lot of that -- yes.  Lets say you need 250 less people. So yes less jobs but most still there.

As for accountants, it will never be the case for public accounting work that one accountant can sign off on anything.  It will always be a team.  AI cannot do away with government regulations.  And those will not change.[/quote]
