Just like in every major sector, AI has reshaped the global business landscape. The World Economic Forum’s Future of Jobs 2025 reports that 40% of employers plan to reduce their workforce in areas where automation is feasible signaling a major shift in business operations.
AI is rapidly transforming traditional business functions, from data analysis to customer service. Tasks such as reporting, documentation, and customer support are increasingly automated globally and also in Bangladesh, while high-value roles involving decision-making, stakeholder management, and creative strategy remain human-driven.
Roles that will thrive in the AI era
Despite increased automation, jobs requiring critical thinking, contextual judgment, and empathy remain irreplaceable.
C-suite roles: Strategic leadership, crisis management, and risk navigation rely heavily on human insight and adaptability, making them resistant to automation.
Management positions: Negotiation, planning, persuasion, and cross-cultural collaboration demand human engagement and remain central to organizational success.
Client-facing roles: Understanding client psychology and building trust requires emotional intelligence beyond AI’s capabilities.
Creative roles: While AI can generate ideas, long-term branding, storytelling, and market perception require uniquely human creativity.
AI Data Analysts: These professionals must combine AI tools with human judgment, offering strategic insights and adapting to evolving technologies.
Business Analysts: AI can process data, but the interpretive, investigative, and human-centered evaluation of business problems remains a human responsibility.
How students can prepare
A management trainee working in the tech sector of a reputed non-banking financial organization, emphasizes that graduates must learn analytics, LLM prompt engineering, project management, and strong communication to stay relevant. Key skills include:
AI languages and SQL: Widely used in data-driven roles and essential for AI-era competitiveness.
Data analytics: Crucial for understanding and leveraging business data.
Project management: Requires human oversight, critical decision-making, and coordination.
Sales skills: Training in negotiation, objection handling, and customer understanding enhances career flexibility.
AI will reshape business, but graduates who blend analytical capability, adaptability, and strong human-centered skills will continue to lead, solve meaningful problems, and thrive in the evolving workplace.
