Nah engineers need PMs so they don't have to talk with other teams or customers.

No one said project manager as a role was going away. I said as a career path. AIs can project manage just fine already.

With enough cameras and drones it will be able to. Also most projet managers dont spend much time on site, or even have a site. talking more tech and that sort of development.

Product managers do do a lot of project management, but the other half of the job is figuring out the right features or capabilities for the engineers to build by talking with customers, doing data analysis, and hammering out strategy with other teams. That part will probably grow as project management gets more automated.

Doing analysis? hammering out strategy? It can do all that already. And when those other teams are AI why would you want the human element slowwing it down
