The role includes many tasks that require both software and hardware interaction—things an AI would not be able to handle on its own. It involves communicating with field technicians, identifying design gaps, and troubleshooting issues that can range from field-related problems to programming interactions with physical hardware. There are also many custom solutions, and a lot of trial-and-error is involved in this industry. I could see AI helping with basic tasks, such as simple programming or generating device configurations, but that would only cover about 5 percent of the job at most. At times, there is a need for vast knowledge in different fields since they all interact with each other. IT, Physical installation, Network troubleshooting, coding, and end-to-end user and installer troubleshooting.

The profession requires the ability to creatively solve tasks that arise from new situations in people's social lives. It demands analytical skills to perceive human-to-human relationships, and in the near future, human-to-robot relationships, in order to predict potential security threats that may emerge in social interactions.
