Former Executive Explains How Companies Decide Which Jobs AI Will Replace.

AI doesn’t have to perform your entire job before your company decides it needs fewer people like you. Most professionals are asking whether AI can replace everything they do. Inside organizations, leaders are often asking a different question: once AI absorbs part of the work, how many people are still needed to handle what remains? In this video, former executive Tomas Schmidt explains how AI becomes a headcount decision—and why jobs can disappear through vacancies that aren’t filled, combined positions and work redistributed across smaller teams. You’ll learn: The three factors that make work easier to automate or consolidate Why your job title doesn’t reveal your actual exposure How roles can disappear without anyone saying AI replaced them Which human contributions become more valuable as outputs get cheaper How to assess your own work before your role changes The conversation you should be having with your manager now The goal isn’t to become irreplaceable. It’s to make sure that as work changes, the reason the organization needs you gets stronger—not smaller.
