Why technology can change this work

  • continuous automated controls detect deviations before manual review
  • AI prepares reports, plans, minutes and management options
  • autopilot gradually takes control in constrained, well-mapped environments
  • cameras, sensors and SIEM systems classify events automatically
  • AI detects anomalies and prioritizes incidents
  • some monitoring and patrol tasks shift to robots

What protects the occupation

  • independent professional judgement and accountability for conclusions
  • accountability for people, priorities and conflicting interests
  • a large share of value comes from human judgement, trust or personal accountability
  • operation in bad weather, road works and unpredictable human behavior
  • decision accountability under threat
  • unknown scenarios and active adversaries
