No. Jobs will change shape, not disappear. Argon & Co's roadmap shows that as AI automates routine tasks (reorder triggers, basic exception handling), human roles evolve-they don't vanish.

Instead of creating plans, planners become validators and refiners of AI output. Instead of data entry, time goes to exception scenarios, cross-silo negotiation, and strategic thinking. New hybrid roles emerge: planning orchestration leads, AI data operations managers, scenario architects.

By Years 3-5, humans focus on governance, performance optimization, market sensing, and high-impact decisions-work that requires judgment, relationships, and adaptability. These are areas AI amplifies but doesn't replace.

The key: companies that formalize reskilling programs and define clear career paths thrive. Employees who build data literacy, scenario thinking, and cross-functional skills move forward. Your role will change, but your expertise remains valuable-especially when combined with AI fluency.
