Yes this is the next step of automation. A lot of office jobs will be replaced by highly effective automation programs. People laugh about how dumb AI is but with machine learning they can make programs that can track and match data very accurately over time. Where they needed 10 people before, they now need only 2 to supervise the accuracy output of the automation program and make some adjustments.

A functioning "true" AI is going to be highly lucrative for a couple of people. You can bet your ass the brightest minds we own on this planet are trying to be the first to make it work. Its going to happen, human greed knows no boundaries.
