AI and Project Management, are they destined for perfect harmony?

I recently read an article that said,

"By 2030, 80% of work of today in the project management discipline will be eliminated as AI takes on functions such as data collection, tracking and reporting". (Gartner: How AI Will Reinvent Program and Portfolio Management)

However, I read another article by Dell that said 85% of jobs that will exist in 2030 haven't been invented yet. Dell notes that this change in the future mode of work "will unleash novel opportunities for a diverse pool of truly global talent" where humans will not become a "non-entity". But, how does this affect the field of project management?

Would be great to hear your opinion on this topic. Do you think PM work will be eliminated by AI by 2030, or will the PM job transform into more critical and crucial responsibilities?

I suppose the worse case scenario, is something like a Bionic Man, a Robo Cop like figure, half man half machine. Maybe this would be more efficient than a Terminator, lol.

In my perspective though AI evolve its versions to double digit that cannot completely take over Project Management innovations by Human Brian!
Project management is a complex and multifaceted discipline that involves a wide range of skills and competencies that are not easily replicable by machines.
Intelligent act by PM utilizing AI for automating repetitive tasks, analyzing data, and providing insights for decision-making. However, there are many aspects of project management that require human judgment, creativity, and emotional intelligence, such as team building, communication, risk management, and stakeholder engagement.
*This is just my thought.
