Unfortunately, I expect more to come in 2026 and 2027.
Jim Farley the CEO of Ford, is predicting that AI is expected to replace literally half of all white-collar jobs in the US.

I have been talking to my clients about this subject, and they are planning to find ways to augment their businesses to take advantage of the technology where they can as well.
