To predict what jobs AI will replace, you need to know both of the following:

  1. What's special about the human mind that makes people necessary for completing certain tasks
  2. What AI can do to replicate or replace those special features

This guy has an MA in industrial engineering and an MBA, and has been in business his whole career. He has no knowledge of psychology and whatever knowledge of AI that he's picked up on the side as part of his work.

He's not the guy to ask. And yet, I feel like this is the only kind of guy anyone asks.
