  1. AI transition consultant. There will be companies that take a long time to adapt their operations. They'll need consultants to map out

  2. AI enabled subject matter expert. Independent contractor with experience and expertise. Their value is enhanced by their decision to employ AI tools as part of their professional service. They know what tool to apply and when, and the comparative effectiveness of the variety of AI tools out there. Applicable to a number of specialist fields.

  3. Value chain coordinator. Someone will want to look at the market of available AI enhanced expertise, and figure out how to put those things together in a value chain. Recent examples of this are how Silicon Valley startups chained together existing XaaS platforms to build their own services. Along the same lines, someone is going to say, 'What if we mixed x and y?'

  4. HR. "Human relations." Depending on the extent of the disruption, the traditional HR functions will have to be modified. Organizations will still need humans in them to make the decisions and interact with other humans in other companies. Good companies will also include a hefty training component to keep their people up to speed with a changing competitive landscape.

  5. Storytelling and entertaining. The need for human connection and having fun will not diminish. It may even see a resurgence. Artists, singers, instrumentalists, actors, acrobats, jugglers, mimes, clowns, magicians, puppeteers, Renaissance festivals, table top roleplay, board games, competitive sports, Benihana-style or fancy dining experiences, all of these types of things are rooted in the connected experience, the desire to gather around the campfire and hear the words of another.

Edit: except for the mime, he's not talking to anyone.
