They are probably right about the coders. Extrapolating from my brushes with big corp IT efforts and confidently generalising it to BP too, it is likely that the standard of what they have today is so underwhelming that an AI will do no worse. This is because the corporate culture and reward structure incentivise using the cheapest labour to spend as much money as possible delaying delivery for so long that accountability doesn't come home to roost and the system can instead be scheduled to be replaced by a bigger worse new project before it ever gets finished. Yeap I'm cynical but there are precious few 'wow they are doing it right' 'efficient and effective' stories from big corp IT. They are probably right about their help desks too. And so on.
