Companies need people to implement AI
Even if the tools stopped improving today, it would take companies a long time to use what's already possible. You still need people who know how to use them and understand the work well enough to figure out where they fit.
In my work with teams, everyone is busy with their actual job. That job usually doesn't include figuring out how AI changes their role, how it relates to other roles, or how to use the tools across functions.
There's work here that someone needs to own. I don't think the shape of that role is fully defined yet, but the need for it is pretty clear.
