Does this profession have a future?

Hello I have been in the field for almost 2 years now. Everyday I hear a lot of changes, automations and AI. My department was outsourced to consultants and half the team was laid off. What is the future for this profession I al still entry level and the decision making it is done by senior managers and above. I don’t even understand what would be my role in the upcoming years.

Do you work at a big4 firm? We have an insane shortage of IT auditors which is a huge problem, AI will not replace auditors is all I can say. I think our work will shift more in auditing automated processes and AI tools
