Define nearer-term?

Jeff Brandt, Editor of PinHawk's Law Technology Digest Newsletter, discusses on Wayne Chang's definition of "nearer-term" and his opinions of where AI is needed.

Maybe Wayne Chang and I have a differing definition of "nearer-term" but to me he sounds a bit optimistic with his assessment of artificial general business intelligence (AGBI) and it's ability to enable "the rise of the zero-humans company." But this is an article that makes you think and I certainly appreciate it. The AI worker examples he gives are:

Research AI:
Conducts market research, analyzes trends, and identifies opportunities.
Design AI:
Generates product ideas, creates designs, and prototypes solutions.
Engineering AI:
Develops and maintains the company's technology stack.
Marketing AI:
Handles branding, advertising, and customer engagement.
Sales AI:
Manages the sales process, from lead generation to closing deals.
Finance AI:
Oversees budgeting, accounting, and financial forecasting.

I find it interesting that he doesn't consider a Legal AI as necessary to the functioning of his zero-humans company. As some pie in the sky, he adds, "The most compelling aspect of these AI Workers is that they will be the very best version of their respective fields. You can have the best data science worker, the best chemist, the best writer, the best engineer - all as AI Workers. And every AGBI company can have teams of these top-tier AI professionals."Now if I stretch my definition of nearer-term, I can see he has some points. I'm terrible on predictions, but when do you think Wayne's "nearer-term" concerns might become valid? Read more at chang corporation: The Coming Rise of the Zero-Humans Company
