I guess the people first and most affected would be support hotlines, not that their workplace hasn't been transformed to hell by surveillance already anyway.

I don't think AI will replace line mangers in productions to a severe degree, not in any higher occupation. Conductors of trains or ships won't go away too soon either. Maybe a lot of bureaucracy could be rationalized, although that might be a slow progress since there would be political resistance. I believe the capability for AI to reason has come into question lately and rightly so in my opinion. Maybe we do have self-driving cars at some point. We do have some impressive chat bots, but the discourse is still an illusion. Overall I share the view of the article, that nobody acutely needs to fear AI in the foreseeable future.
