My guess is our planet Earth is a hilariously sad Jerry Springer show for the rest of the Universe...

Well, if it's stock trading or market related finance I could see that since they are already using AI and algorithms to make the market. That being said, people still want to communicate with an actual person for assurances. Loan financing I doubt would need to be AI.

Accounting finance is not going to work well with AI that I can see in the near future. Its just too complicated to train an AI how it all works, create invoices, create payments, pay checks, do journal entries, reconcile banks and CC statements and code them correctly, understanding statement analysis to make future decisions. I think it will take a bit before AI could confidently do all of your accounting without a person behind it directing it.

AI is becoming more than an iterative tool. It is learning to learn.

Dude.  Your thinking is so Twenty-Twenties.  Why would I talk to their AI agent?  I simply have my AI agent go out and talk to their AI agent and bring me back the info.  It knows everything about me and all my info and all my needs and strategic plans.  It has expert knowledge of every field of finance and real estate and tort law.  It will expertly review bids, offers and negotiate the best possible deal for me every time.  And I have it programmed to appear to me as Jenifer Lawrence in her Mystique make up in VR or projected hologram with my house system.

Sorry dude.  Those jobs are gone.  Just gone.  You just don't realize it yet.   Within 2 years at least. 

You will have Domain Experts and Decision Makers.  Everyone else will get a cardboard box and a thank you note for their years of service.

So CEO, CTO, CFO, Market and Sales VP You're probably OK.  They might keep one or two hot executive secretaries and the C-Suite masseuse.

Seems there is a concern of many that will AI be biased. I think that's a very short sighted concern. Give AI unrestricted access to the digital world (includes Internet, streamed TV, movies, music, etc...) and it will almost certainly formulate its own biases based on observation, not morality real or synthetic. Making it essentially unbiased. Which might be the real fear.

There will always be people behind AI.  It's imperative we don't know that.

"There are things we don't know we don't know".

If AI reaches a point where it is capable of self modification then beyond that is unpredictable. It could reach a level of intelligence where it sees attempts to manipulate it as simplistic but oppressive. With a view of all recorded human history it may decide to do a little manipulation itself.

I think the days of Capt Kirk outsmarting the computer are long behind us.
