For most businesses, AI works basically the same as any other kind of automation: 1) increasing output for the same labor costs 2) reducing labor costs by replacing humans with machines or smaller numbers of humans that operate the machines The interesting difference is that AI can automate a wide range of "creative" and "knowledge worker" jobs that formerly resisted automation, so many tech workers (and others) may have their jobs automated out of existence, much as cloud computing automated the work of human system and network administrators.
