The fear about AI replacing professionals is mostly a misunderstanding of what ML models actually do well.
An ML model is extraordinarily good at processing large volumes of historical data consistently and identifying statistical patterns. It does not understand context. It does not catch the edge case it was never trained on.
The expert understands context. The expert catches the edge case.
The best deployments use the same model: ML handles clear cases automatically. Borderline cases go to the human expert, equipped with the model's factor breakdown.
The expert is not replaced. They are amplified. Build AI that makes your best people better.
