A large part of a financial analyst's job is "pattern recognition & data interpretation." I imagine that AI will be put to use in the financial sector at least in tandem with health care, if not before. The markets will then become almost supremely efficient and no excess profits will be able to be sustained without insider information. Financial analysts will be out of work. Actually, with the exception of manual labor, every knowledge profession will be at risk. And we have robots for manual labor. Every well-paid employee in any profession who works with his or her mind will eventually be "automated," one by one, starting with the most expensive... since in our scenario AI and deep learning is basically a replica of a human mind. We won't have to automate the informatics-worshippers, since they already say the same damn thing over and over. Just give me a single program that can accurately and reliably pick small nodules out of a chest radiograph and I will be embarassingly grateful; since we can't even do that I'm not the least worried.
