Why technology can change this work

  • AI prepares reports, plans, minutes and management options
  • booking, communication and routine advice move to digital services
  • the main inputs and outputs already exist in a digital environment
  • robots gradually learn standardized operations
  • AI helps diagnose problems and select solutions

What protects the occupation

  • accountability for people, priorities and conflicting interests
  • hands-on work in unpredictable environments
  • a large share of value comes from human judgement, trust or personal accountability
  • the physical environment is too variable for near-term full robotics automation
  • personal trust and individual adaptation
  • on-site accountability for outcomes
