Why technology can change this work

  • models automatically compare scenarios, prices, returns and risks
  • AI prepares reports, plans, minutes and management options
  • autopilot gradually takes control in constrained, well-mapped environments
  • documents, transactions and reports have structured digital formats
  • reconciliation, classification and standard calculations repeat
  • rules and anomalies can be checked by software

What protects the occupation

  • 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
  • accountability for financial decisions
  • non-standard transactions and regulatory change
