AI Could Replace Key Parts of Your Job — Here's How

Will AI Replace "Your" Job? Created by Sophia Banton in collaboration with Google Whisk. Same desk. Same data. One is uncertain. One is optimized. As AI becomes both doer and thinker, the future of work is quietly being rewritten. Every generation faces a major shift in the way work is done. Today, headlines suggest AI will replace jobs, and tech companies are cutting their workforce to invest in AI tools. These tools are increasingly being integrated into businesses, and their presence in higher education is causing heated discussions as they begin to appear in classrooms. Many people are left wondering: how does this affect me? In other words, will AI take my job? The answer might not be what you hope to hear. But before we dive into that, it's important to understand what AI is actually replacing and why. Consider the typical analytics and visualization workflow. Analytics teams process company data, create reports, and then analysts pass them along to business professionals who format them into slide decks for senior leadership. This entire process can now be handled by AI tools like Copilot. If Copilot has access to company data, executives—including the CEO—can ask it to recreate the report with charts, graphs, and interactive elements. These tools can generate a variety of file formats, including PDFs, Word documents, Excel spreadsheets, and PowerPoint presentations. If you've been skeptical of their quality, keep in mind that these tools are advancing rapidly. The middle layer of this workflow—from data processing to report creation to presentation design—has essentially been eliminated.
