In a recent interview, Mustafa Suleyman, CEO of Microsoft AI, reiterated the alarming forecast that within the next 12 to 18 months, 'most, if not all, professional tasks' in fields such as law, accounting, and marketing will be fully automated. This prediction aligns with similar concerns from industry leaders, including Elon Musk, who noted that AI will first eliminate digital desk jobs while physical trades remain safer for now. Despite these forecasts, current AI adoption in professional services has yielded only modest productivity gains, with some studies indicating that AI tools can even slow down work processes. Meanwhile, Sundar Pichai of Google announced plans for a $15 billion investment in AI infrastructure in India, emphasizing that AI will reshape the workforce by automating some roles, evolving others, and creating entirely new careers.
