I have no doubt that management hopes that they will be able to cut costs through AI! My doubts come from the fact that the people most certain that this possible future will come to pass seem to be armchair experts outside the industry where people in the industry seem mostly excited about new tools and bemused with the IP issues around AI. It's not like the last 20 years have been free of disruptions from software tools? I have no more of a crystal ball than anyone else, but this is only one of many confident predictions about AI killing human experts that has not yet come to pass. It's certainly possible, but I wouldn't invest based on it.
