In short

What AI can do today

  • · Automate the routine subset of the role’s task list.
  • · Surface decision-support summaries from internal data.
  • · Draft communications, reports, and structured artefacts.
  • · Flag edge cases for the human to handle.

What it can’t (yet) do

  • · Take ethical or fiduciary responsibility.
  • · Build durable trust with customers, peers, and regulators.
  • · Operate in physically embodied or licensed settings without humans.
  • · Replace contextual judgment in novel situations.
