One thing AI won’t be able to do is take the blame for big decisions.
I’ve realized that companies like McKinsey also provide a scapegoat for a manager’s decision gone wrong. They can just blame McKinsey for advising them to do it. But they can’t as easily blame an AI. And McKinsey is happy to be the bad guy.
I think this is an area where we will still keep humans. To blame someone when something goes wrong.
Unfortunately for McKinsey, that’s not going to be enough to prop up their revenues.
This is more than enough to prop them up. More often then not the consultee already has a plan even if the plan is horrendous the consulting company is there to insulate management from any fallout (read incompetence).
