Not a hope of that

He does say “tasks” which allows for a lot of wiggle room down the line.
The FT hate most white collar jobs which is funny given their readership so jump on this stuff. They had a story about KPMG demanding a reduced fee from their auditor because of AI last week which sounds brilliant for evangelists but I’m not so sure. There’ll always be cost pressures and AI might be at the pointy stage right now for audit work. Some more regulations and workstreams will inevitably be added though that will generate fees elsewhere. Audit itself already had a lot of “low value”’grunt work involved in it- but you still had a “Big 4” despite that. There’s value and then there’s also risk- most of these things weren’t really charged based on hours anyway.
Deloitte Australia and Canada had huge boo boos late last year using AI delivering erroneous reports to clients. I’d say they have to triple check everything going out now defeating the purposes of AI and the savings it generates.

It’d be good craic if AI made all middle class professional knowledge and computer jobs obsolete and working class people doing physical labour became the higher paid workers.

How long before A.I is able to trade on the stock markets if it’s not already?
Even it’s a small bit better than the most intelligent traders it could surely play havoc on the markets.
Presumably it wouldn’t take time into account like a human would and may take incredibly long term views.
Did you see the robots at the chinese new year party? The development in 12 months is off the charts.
