Is it possible that, in the future, artificial intelligence could become the project manager and take charge of directing the team?



I feel it’s starting to have enough data and input, but for now, the role of a project manager is still necessary on the actual ground—not just in the virtual world.

All roles related to project management (all the roles defined by the PMI) are dead as they are originally defined mainly when generative AI started to be use in 2017. As you know, generative AI is just a subset of AI. We are using AI from long time before. If all of us, involved into initiatives performing a role, do not understand that then we are lost.

While the use of Gen-AI is rapidly ivolving, I don't think we are going to have a Robo-PM similar to Robo-taxi simply because project management tasks are more complex with multiple challenges. In addition, Gen AI has several risks and limitations such as security, privacy and the uncertain future and evolving nature. According to Gartner Hype Cycle for technology adoption, Generative AI sits primarily in the Trough of Disillusionment, transitioning past the peak as organizations confront practical implementation limits, governance hurdles, and ROI challenges.

I think it's worth double-clicking on three flavors of intelligence, asking, "What do we want to invest in?"

Artificial Intelligence (AI): we invest in LLMs, agents, data, and prompts. What else?
Individual Human Intelligence (IHI): we invest in degrees, certifications, experience, and climbership. What else?
Collective Human Intelligence (CHI): we invest in team discipline, empathy, trustworthiness, and leadership. What else?

What am I missing among these? Any different points of view? Where are "investments" among different forms of intelligence?
