AI replaces accountants

[entrepreneur7]

The term we are looking at is 2030.
Many accountants will go to retrain, but like what? - financiers, financial analysts? And won't they also be replaced by artificial intelligence?
All experts say - if something can be replaced by artificial intelligence, it will be replaced.
Which professions do you think in the financial sector will not be able to be replaced by artificial intelligence?
For example, if you are an accountant, what profession will you retrain in? Again, something related to finance or a completely different field of work

Three things come to mind.

1) The shift to AI won't be instantaneous. It will be gradual. The speed of the shift is unpredictable, and it will vary for different facets of the industry. So, it's less a question of jobs being replaced by AI as it is AI changing how jobs are done. Which is to say that accountants don't need to pick a new career, they need to adapt as their chosen career evolves.

2) What these studies don't show you are the new jobs and opportunities that don't exist yet. As AI, and technology in general, improve over time new opportunities will spring up.

3) There's no telling what AI won't be able to do. The better question is what jobs will humans insist be done by humans?

I doubt AI is going to replace accountants. Accountants are mostly working on solving business issues. It also involves auditing. An AI computer can always get hacked and can always have glitches. It's not going to be error proof. I feel AI will be more used as a tool to automate tasks.
