Will AI replace risk management information systems specialists?
AI will handle the data processing, but the specialist is needed to interpret how technical risks translate to business insurance and liability. The job remains safe for those who can bridge the gap between IT and corporate leadership.
Why AI struggles to replace this job

The 10-year outlook
