When AI Engineers Arrive, Jobs Start to Disappear Fast

This article discusses the growing fear around AI engineers and automation in organizations. It explains how AI engineers challenge legacy processes and make inefficiency visible, leading to resistance. However, AI does not replace people but replaces inefficient processes, reshaping roles to focus on oversight and decision-making. While AI systems still require human oversight for critical areas, the role of AI engineers will also evolve and partially automate over time. The article emphasizes that treating AI as a threat leads to resistance, while treating it as leverage leads to strategic adaptation. Scalevise offers help in identifying which processes should be automated and how to design scalable systems responsibly.
