Hopefully it will eliminate all the boring shit like managing JIRA, giving status updates, and following up with communication tasks. Another large part of my day is also troubleshooting random things, so hopefully AI will benefit my team before I have to get engaged.

I don't think AI poses a risk when it comes to setting engineering priorities and building the roadmap. If it could do that, it could probably just build the entire system anyway.

EMs are there for the human aspect of engineering, so I also doubt it will impact hiring or EM-engineer ratios.

I do expect the bar to being an EM to be higher as the job will be more technical and less project management.

Have you tried automating any of these before? Are there tools out there for this? If not, why do you think that is?

correct.It can only help in analyzing jira and surfacing what could be important, human review would still be required. It can't do anything if people are not responding to communication tasks.
