Technology analyst and former a16z partner Benedict Evans stated in an a16z interview that AI may automate much of the routine work currently done by junior lawyers, consultants, bankers, and advertisers.
He emphasized that a significant chunk of the tasks performed by entry-level employees will be reshaped. Evans noted that without actual experience working at a law firm or major consultancies like McKinsey, BCG, or Bain, it is difficult to truly grasp how these foundational operations work and accurately predict AI's specific impact.
