@Sheril It will be a long time before AI can do real interpretation because so much is context dependent, and requires a knowledge of the culture/ethnicity . Certainly in person interpretation services.

As for secretaries, automation has already affected them, by moving many tasks to their bosses! Soon the bosses will have no secretaries and will be spending al their time making their AI try to perform secretarial tasks. Believe me, I have worked in IT and know that 99% of the bosses (and programmers) don't know what their secretaries do. And I have seen how things like automated calendars moved the work to the managers.

But I never thought management or programmers particularly savvy, and sometimes they aren't even smart.
