A new essay argues that generative AI could do more than automate tasks in professional services: AI-native firms may build or buy whole service providers to take on routine coordination, leaving senior professionals to make the final calls.
Why it mattersThe author also cites Stanford payroll data as showing employment declines among younger workers in AI-exposed roles, while older, experienced workers have gained. That is a reported pattern, not enough here to establish what caused it. The argument moves the debate from faster paperwork to who owns the service and which workers do what. Is rebuilding the business around AI a genuine productivity shift, or a new wrapper for cutting junior roles?
