Impromptu: Amplifying Our Humanity Through AI - AI could be used to collect and analyze data on com- petitors and industry trends, helping to identify areas for improvement and growth. - AI could be used to automate and speed up the pro- cess of crafting and implementing strategies, allowing for more efficient and effective management consulting. GPT-4 puts a lot of emphasis on analyzing data and drawing conclusions here, which seems logical—that’s what Bain and BCG and their compadres do. But if AI is doing so much analy- sis, what happens to the human consultants? Reid: How might the adoption of AI within the manage- ment consulting industry negatively impact the career prospects of current consultants? Provide examples of how these changes will affect early-career analysts and associates, mid-career engagement managers, and high-level executives such as McKinsey partners. GPT-4: The adoption of AI within the management consulting industry could have a negative impact on the career prospects of current consultants. Early-career analysts and associates may be the most affected, as AI can automate many of the tasks they are responsible for, such as research, data analysis, and report writing. As AI systems become more sophisticated, these roles may become redundant, leading to a decrease in job oppor- tunities for these individuals. Mid-career engagement managers may also be affected by the adoption of AI. AI systems may be able to auto- mate the processes of creating and implementing strat- egies, making engagement managers’ roles less nec- essary. They may also be replaced by AI systems in their role of providing insights and advice to clients, as AI sys- tems become more capable of performing these tasks. 128
