How do you think PM function is going to change with IA & RObotics?

I see the potential more on the AI side than the robotics side from the PM role perspective. While computing algorithms can handle many things like pattern recognition, multi-variate decision making, and automating tasks related to information, I don't see many tasks I do as a PM that require physical automation.

People already interface with computers using voice commands such as using Siri on iPhone. What would the robot add? It makes my coffee? I ask my robot to call your robot and see if you're on schedule? Maybe people are more comfortable talking to something humanoid, but the cost to benefit seems high.

Sorry for being cathegoric. People have to understand this: the more IA is using the most human being will be needed.It is by definition of IA.

This is interesting !!!

Being PMP and studying RPA, let me also try to identify something which is different and could affect the human jobs;

-- Most of the setup of down level systems - desktops and laptops can be done automatically
-- Network devices can be configured with predefined script including routing in a router
-- Server OS installation and patching can be automated
-- SBU / Organization wise data copying/shifting to the cloud server
-- Cloud operation via Azure or WBS with its services from user desks
-- Working on Macro enabled workbooks locally or moving it to SharePoint or other platform
-- automatize SAP, sourcing / ordering / resource management, Finance payment processes etc

key is to list down the existing process in steps it is happening and cut it short to automate it as max as possible.

Automation cant be applied where manual intervention is require.

based on my experience and study ~~~ can elaborate
