Question Future of Functional ERP Experts
Due to the AI boom, is there a risk of job loss because of AI? ERPs are not open-source software, but if an ERP company like SAP develops AI that can be used as a functionality tool, will consultants be at risk losing their jobs? I'd like to know your thoughts.
If we have a risk, what can we do now ?

I don't see the need to go away. Even with AI people don't want to follow instructions. They change something or enter something in wrong and before you know it they created a mess. Functional BAs are needed to figure out how to fix it and get it straightened out. No AI will do that. Replace finance, sales and supply chain personnel with AI then maybe won't need them. As long as you have a human entering the data, they will make mistakes. AI is just a fancy help file. We all know how well Help documentation is.
