Will Artificial Intelligence Exceed Human Performance in Marketing and Sales by 2025?

When will AI actually exceed human performance in marketing and sales? To be more direct--when will virtual assistants take over human marketers and sales reps? According to a survey by the Future of Humanity Institute at the University of Oxford, AI will take over human jobs in phases, depending on specializations and degrees of precision required. For example, intelligent assistants will take over translational tasks by 2024, while it may take as many as forty-five years for AI to replace humans in tasks that require surgical precision based on intuitions. In short, marketers and sales reps will either be assisted by or compete against intelligent AI-driven assistants for the major part of the century.
