Working in the field I think there is two things AI will make an impact on:

  • Going after low skill white collar work (basically further automation of semi-skilled labor)
  • Being an excuse to undercut high-skill white collar labor wages.

However, I suspect we'll get a lot of the issues we saw with "outsourcing" where the end result is businesses pursuing cheaper outputs without concern for quality.
