Aspects of the job may be augmented by automation but extracting and negotiating requirements and mapping to technical domains will require communication, originality, and social skills.

ML may not replace 100%, but it can narrow potential options and mitigate risk better than humans, and leave low-value workers to whittle down from the output shortlist. ML can already conduct interviews that branch dynamically according to discovered heuristics. A challenge may be interacting with humans and other systems to deal with small but messy and long lists of items that require ad hoc classification.

Machine learning offers opportunities to improve efficiency and mitigate risks across various fields. Although it may limit options and gradually reduce low-value workers in certain cases, it is not a perfect or complete solution. The interaction between humans and ML systems is crucial, especially when addressing complex challenges such as ad hoc data classification. It is essential to carefully consider both the benefits and limitations of ML, ensuring that its implementation is carried out ethically and that human and social interests are protected.
