Title: Can AI replace economists and financial analysts?
Post by: charrles on November 21, 2025, 11:10:53 AM
With predictive algorithms getting smarter every day, I can’t help but wonder: are we slowly handing over economic decision-making to machines? It feels like everywhere I look—financial markets, business forecasts, even policy simulations—AI models are stepping into roles that were once reserved for economists and financial analysts with years of training and experience.

I’m genuinely curious whether we’re moving toward a future where economists and analysts become more like supervisors, guiding AI tools rather than making the calls themselves. Or are we edging toward something more dramatic—where algorithms take the lead and humans step back?

If AI can do the work of financial analysts and economists, why not replace them with AI? I do not think there is anything that is bad there. As some jobs will be lost because of AI, some jobs will be created.

But I think that AI can not replace economists and financial analysts but AI will help economists and financial analysts instead.

This is what I found out about it:

Quote
AI will not fully replace economists and financial analysts, but will transform their roles by automating repetitive tasks, enhancing efficiency, and creating new opportunities for strategic, human-centric work. Instead of replacement, the trend is toward an "augmentation" where analysts use AI to gain deeper insights and make more informed decisions, shifting the focus to skills like strategic thinking, complex problem-solving, and client management that AI cannot replicate.

There is a disclaimer on some AI, about you being careful and how you should always check to verify key informations because they are not always correct. So a question is, can you or should you trust AI completely for key economic and financial decisions? I don’t think so.

Professionals in the field will always be needed to help verify and even make key decisions.

AI can not process emotions and logic isn't the only criteria we using in making predictions because they would need to predict the decisions and actions of individuals. No AI are just support to make things easy not fully replace humans.

Let AI do what they can help human in doing and allow human do what they can do better than the AI. i think that if we come to terms with this fact, there will not come a thought that AI is a source of threat to us or that it is coming to steal our jobs from us. from a basic standpoint, there are financial analysis that the use of AI can help solve based on how it is being programmed., at the basic level, AI can solve such problem but which it comes to complex economic issues like the ones the world is facing that combines economic issue as well as ethnic, religious and political challenges, you need a real economist that can factor all those things into consideration while carrying out his hypothesis or analysis.

Good point.
AI don't feel, they don't experience only humans do. AI can be of assistance to economist and analysis to quicken the way they may research and do record keeping but cannot replace them to do the main job.
People are afraid of AI, instead of to learn how to use them for their own personal advantage.

You guys hype AI like we are almost there, life isn't movies man, they are not the same. Before AI came, there iterations and predictive analysis, all of the model were built to improve AI, there is nothing of Artificial intelligence that is born from other space, it's an idea from a man but machine makes it better, they can be better than human but almost impossible to replace. Have you seen articles and research done by AI? Without a guess, you will know this is AI information, I don't know in the future but they are not close for now.

Let assumes AI becomes better, they can't use their results alone on improve neither the programmers, financial analyst is need to confirm if they result is working on the right direction or they need an adjustment. Either ways, the definition of machines remain relevant they make our work easier and faster but they can't replace human completely.

The question is, on what scale? In a personal situation, you might prefer AI's more practical and immediate advice. But in the realm of scientific and academic research, economists' and analysts' quotes are generally considered more rational.
So, no. Every era should have at least some iconic economists and financial analysts for this purpose.

I wouldn't be surprised if economists and financial analysts use AI to make help them including making decision for them, this will make them can give analysis without need to think with their head. But, it's only for economists and financial analysts who make money from making analysis and share their idea to the public, instead of making money from their investment.

Humans who think with their relentless brains will never retreat because the world continues to advance, as it has today, thanks to AI technology, which has assisted many people in their work.
If humans are capable of greatness, they could become supervisors, controlling the commands they give to AI. When humans see or discover errors, they will correct them. Humans are great for being able to create AI and simply give orders.

Analysing the economy and finances requires insight, and insight is something you cannot find in AI's algorithms; data are only tools the AI can provide, but looking beyond these algorithms and data is something a human can provide.
The human subconscious is so powerful that it can accurately predict beyond data and algorithms, so AIs will remain a tool for humans to help understand and analyze various industries.

Not that i pay any attention to economists and financial analysts, but i do not think AI can replace them and the work they do. Are they going to adopt AI models to refine their work? Yes. But they cannot be completely replaced by it.

Having said that, there is quite a lot of buzz around AI and its models, and that leads some people to exaggerate the extent at which they would influence the world order. I personally do not think it would be as extensive as some people predict though. Economists tell a lot of lies, so i am sure they would like to keep everything within their power, lol.

It's possible, if AI understands how things, especially within the system works. But it can't easily predict "randomness" from things like humans who will also be part of the factors that affect economy (for example). The way around this is to control or make decisions for the humans so that they become more predictable. And then the AI would become accurate  with things they fully understand until "random things" beyond their control cause them to be inaccurate.  It's like a fully automated city or society where even the foods and other needs of humans are provided by the system at their own discretion,. The AI knows exactly how much raw materials, products and services are needed for the system, if enough is not produced it predicts inflations (and probably starvation), and then it happens. But a random stuff beyond its control can just stop the issue and make food grow in abundant, and this will cause the prediction to fail

You're actually asking a very broader question in a single file but with the least I can tell, AI doesn't make economy decisions as it doesn't know how the world is regulatedband humans aim in the future neither does it analyse economy algorithm.
Forget about the speculations and what is claimed in the internet that AI is to become a revolution to eliminate human services where human interferences on specialized duties are what gives earning and keep lifes going either for a common goal or to receive incentives.
Don't also be diluted with the ads that ascribes AI are a reliable prediction tool with the future and uncertain events such as trading.

People still go for empirical facts for economic statistics and analysis from individuals and professionals especially University professors and statisticians, because most of this persons have undiluted raw survey of the empirical facts you are looking for. Professional sometimes use case studies peculiar to situations and events that might happen to a situated or adjust their analysis in suiting the reality of the day, this is something AI cannot do. However accessibility of some of these professionals in this field or area of specification is sometimes not an easy one, so most people just go for an AI analysis that will just help them do things easily.

The way AI is progressing, we can take different ideas from here but we cannot use these ideas directly. I think it is best to use AI to just take the idea and analyze it and then work according to our own criteria. Moreover, nothing good can be done by using AI completely because it has many restrictions. AI will never be able to think the way we can think. It has made many things easier for us, but it is not always applicable to us.

AI cannot totally replace humans in any field. AI cannot be creative and it cannot solve complex problems. Emotional understanding is an important edge human intelligence exhibits. People will always cherish human interactions.

AI will simply make financial analysis faster and more accurate. Using AI tools to gather data makes analysis earsier. These tools might cut down the job of the financial analsts but humans intelligence will always be needed.

I was watching a clip that one of my country's tech guy was explaining how AI can make financial analysis and how to use the tool for yourself for free, as I saw on that video everything was seamless and perfect, the AI provides you with all the necessary informations,  tips and reasons of why your choice of investment can be bad and also give reasons to why they are making recommendations for something else, after all the information have been tabled down, you now have to make a choice.

It seems to me that the issue is not one sided at all. Yes AI is now taking over human work in many places especially where numbers and big data are required but I don't see people being completely left behind just because of that. Economics is not just about calculations, it also requires understanding human attitudes and real situations and machines cannot fully grasp that. Of course in the future there will be both humans and AI, only the type of work will change. Analysts may not make direct decisions like before but will understand what AI is showing and decide the right direction. That is, the machine will work and the human will see where to stop. The combination of these two will probably create the safest path.

If I’m not wrong, somewhere in Japan or China they have AI bots in politics too, I can’t remember the exact news, but you can look it up on Google for more information. I think they gave it a big seat in politics, and it was a really crazy idea for me, like now political personalities’ jobs are at risk haha.

What a tragedy.

Anyway, if they are not safe, then nobody is safe. You’re asking about people—they’re also not safe. Only those are safe who are building and selling them, because the next era is of AI, and those who don’t even know what it means are going to suffer, not just financially but mentally too.

I feel like the whole AI thing is being blown out of proportion. Every day, we see how AI might replace one job or another, from programmers to pilots, photographers, and many more. Generally speaking, AI won't replace those jobs. What AI will do is make those jobs easier. There will always be financial analysts and economists, but they will be able to there jobs better with the help of AI. A job that would have taken them a day to do can be done in an hour or two. That is how I see the role of AI in this world, not to replace jobs completely.

On most of these jobs that people fear will be replaced by AI, there is this human input that cannot be taught to a machine, not yet, at least. An AI cant think for itself, it works based on the programme it has been taught. It doesn't have an intuition or a feeling. The way I see it, AI is not a threat; it's an ally. A tool that will make people's jobs relatively easier and better.

What we need to understand is that AI is still not developed to the point that it could replace jobs and take the positions of human workers. AI is still under development, and it isn't ready to replace any job in its current form. However, nothing could be said about the future, because once it gets more advanced and is able to do things more accurately, it might be able to replace a lot of jobs, including economists and financial analysts; however, there is one thing we need to understand about AI.

An AI model will mostly be trained by data that already exists, and the knowledge it has is basically the knowledge that is already available, which cannot be compared with a human brain, because a human has the ability to think about new things, and have thoughts that might not already be available in the world, and that's because humans have brains, and an AI doesn't have that, but it processes data, and then works through that.

That's why, there will always be some fields and jobs that can only be done by humans, with AIs maybe working as assistants with them.

Even though the development of AI is very good, I don't think it will be able to replace everything.
Indeed, AI will be very helpful in making our work and analysis easier, but to replace everything completely is not something I can really consider.

We still need experts or professionals in their fields, including in economics, because programs created like AI cannot back up everything unless they are used as additional tools for reinforcement, in the sense that they become assistants in doing certain things that can be used as an advantage for professionals, which is very possible.
Nothing can completely replace humans in this regard, including AI. Even though its development is excellent and even exceeds expectations, experts will still be very much needed.

It is "trying". Believe me when I say this, if you start using AI right now, to do your financial analysis, then you are going to end up losing money.

You also need to be great at using AI as well, because you can't just assume it will give you a great analysis, go upload bitcoin chart right now and tell it to make you an analysis and it will not have higher than 50% chance to be right, it will say either up or down, and it will go either up or down, so if it's right, that will be because it's a coin toss, but if you keep asking long term, that will go down more and more and it will be wrong, very wrong. AI is not there right now, it will get there one day without a doubt, but it is not good enough to be used just yet, unless you are a wizard with prompts.

AI won't replace economists and financial analysts because it is believed that we humans are still very much valuable in the areas that involves critical thinking, contextual judgement, making decisions and communication.
While AI may be only more restricted to heavy computational duties like recognizing patterns, simulation of different environments and data analysis.

It is left for we humans who work in these areas where AI may soon be integrated into, to learn fast and adapt to the workflow of AI inclusivity, or risk joblessness.

I think the future of AI integration, not replacement nor like a working assistant is more like a future where there would be absolute division of labour, like humans being the supervisors and strategist instead of being forecasters or analyst with very evident human errors.

The kind of things that AI can do a decade or two from now would be far more superior than what it can do now. In spite of that, however, I don't think it can fully replace what economists and analysts can do. I'm not saying economists and analysts are necessarily better than AI. Many of them are blabbering nonsense, but the economy, the reality, is more than just numbers and figures and patterns.

Times are similar and different at the same time. AI can't be as grounded as real people. AI can't live the moment. There seems to be a kind of sentiment and outlook that can only be derived from lived experience.

Handing over decision making to machines is not good. We are humans who can decide for ourselves after we research. AI can suggest but the final decision is ours. We can follow the AI suggestion if we want but we must research and compare the data and not let AI decide for us.

But if they want AI to decide for them, that will not be a problem. Every decision they make will involve risks so they must understand and accept it. Even if that is about AI suggestion, that will still have risks.

AI's primary function is to assist, but I'm concerned about my child's educational progress, and the apps he downloads on his phone aren't just for reference to teacher assignments, but also for completing the day's homework, which will be collected the next day at school.

Our children are mostly weak in math because they likely didn't have a strong foundation in elementary school, especially basic math. Once they reach junior high school, they're overwhelmed by assignments given by their math teacher, sometimes with difficult, college-level problems. So they resort to quick solutions, asking AI directly for answers. This creates dependency and poor performance in completing assignments.

The reason I mention this sector and not others is because the impact of high dependency and the lack of need for independent learning in reading and solving problems is quite severe. The impact is currently quite severe.

It can only try, but it cannot replace humans in their roles as economists and financial analysts; these AIs are limited to data and algorithms and lack common sense, insight, and perception.
Humans are guided by an intelligence coming from the subconscious, which is the superconscious, where everything we have right now was and is created.

AI can be a very powerful assistant, but it can never replace humans. I believe experts and professionals are still relevant and necessary. AI is very adept at providing data analysis, but I don't think it can make decisions like economists. While AI can predict future economic directions, factors like human intervention and individual countries' economic policies can skew AI predictions. I really like having AI as my assistant because it can provide a wealth of data that is incredibly helpful to my business. However, AI can never replace me in making every decision in my business. Furthermore, AI models so far can only provide suggestions and provide positive feedback when asked to make decisions.

It depends on how far AI can develop, I hesitate to say it but for now AI is not able to replace economists and analysts, even though they have data on what has happened in this world in the past, it does not necessarily predict the future based on what has happened in the past, unless this world continues to repeat the same thing every era, AI can have a probability of seeing the future with much greater accuracy, but in fact the world does not always repeat what has happened in the past, there are always new things and new innovations that cannot be predicted by anyone.

It takes a lot to lead humans, it will never happen, unless they have human-like consciousness.

So they resort to quick solutions, asking AI directly for answers. This creates dependency and poor performance in completing assignments.

Then the problem is the foundational education, not AI. Every teacher and parent should make sure their kid gets the foundation right. If they get the foundation right, kids will be able to do their assignments by themselves with AI as an assistant to make it easier. Before calculators became a thing, students calculated with their heads on a piece of paper. When calculators became mainstream in every part of the world, the work became easier, but the problem is it made students lazy. So the educational sector and parents made sure kids know the usual things in the elementary levels, so they won't need to use a calculator for common 5x5 arithmetic.
The same can be done with AI.

The problem with education these days is that young students just have the mindset of passing exams, so they don't read to know and understand what they're reading, as long as they can pass that paper some other way. That is why it's easy for them to use AI for assignments because even though they don't understand it, they can pass it.

There is a disclaimer on some AI, about you being careful and how you should always check to verify key informations because they are not always correct. So a question is, can you or should you trust AI completely for key economic and financial decisions? I don’t think so.

Professionals in the field will always be needed to help verify and even make key decisions.
Indeed the professional ability of a human to regulate and anticipate the market is needed,
AI are made by humans and if has limit to what it can do, the system can malfunction sometimes

If I'm the President of a country or the CEO of a big company, I don’t think I could put the future of my country or my company to an AI, even if they can come out with a good percentage of accuracy.
Human thoughts are supreme, and AIs are their creation, so why put the welfare of a country or a company in your creation? AIs are good for small and medium tasks, but never for the future of your country or company.
The job of the economist and financial analyst is very complex and requires deep analysis far beyond data and statistics.

That's not what AIs do. So no. They can be used to sort and compare data, when it's clearly formatted, but they don't understand the content they will produce.

They just seem to do so because people like to think it as intelligence. People have done programs that do predicting algorithms for ages now, AI can do those as well, but it needs to be directed by someone who actually understands those concepts.

With predictive algorithms getting smarter every day, I can’t help but wonder: are we slowly handing over economic decision-making to machines? It feels like everywhere I look—financial markets, business forecasts, even policy simulations—AI models are stepping into roles that were once reserved for economists and financial analysts with years of training and experience.

I’m genuinely curious whether we’re moving toward a future where economists and analysts become more like supervisors, guiding AI tools rather than making the calls themselves. Or are we edging toward something more dramatic—where algorithms take the lead and humans step back?


AI is likely to determine exactly the same trends and forecasts as people, but the thing with the future is.. it'll often change based on what we expect to happen. For example if the gold price is anticipated to keep on going up, more people pile in and potentially create a bubble in that asset - which has a tendency to burst. AI can collate a lot of useful information and process it in a variety of ways, but it may also be subject to hallucinations, so a person might still need to sift through, sample and verify all it's conclusions are reliable. Generally you'd also want to apply certain patterns to it or feed in assumptions, because it might not really know where to start looking unless you direct it, so financial specialists might still have a purpose in steering it creatively.

Nothing can completely replace humans in this regard, including AI. Even though its development is excellent and even exceeds expectations, experts will still be very much needed.
AI can be a very powerful assistant, but it can never replace humans. I believe experts and professionals are still relevant and necessary. AI is very adept at providing data analysis, but I don't think it can make decisions like economists. While AI can predict future economic directions, factors like human intervention and individual countries' economic policies can skew AI predictions. I really like having AI as my assistant because it can provide a wealth of data that is incredibly helpful to my business. However, AI can never replace me in making every decision in my business. Furthermore, AI models so far can only provide suggestions and provide positive feedback when asked to make decisions.
I would strongly agree when making AI as an assistant or helper to make our work easier but not when saying they can replace humans in solving a problem especially in a company or certain agencies including in economic matters.

The development of AI cannot be denied that currently even AI can be a fairly deadly weapon even when we talk about the trade war that occurred for the US and China some time ago also spread to several companies they built including AI where chatgpt and DeepSeek elbowed each other showing that AI can be one of the weapons that is deadly enough to put pressure on other countries.
But in the end, this condition must also be intervened by experts because however the machine can still be damaged, including for technology.

Human needs years of training to achieve success in these fields but AI has already got that training from industry experts who have fed all the required data and all AI has to do is compile the data and give results. AI is much more efficient is what I think because these economists or financial analysts can take hours or maybe days to analyze and study the markets where as AI can just take a couple of seconds and the output might be much similar to the real one. I think AI can be a threat to these analysts but I do not think this is something to really worry about.

These analysts or economists should learn and up skill themselves to integrate AI into their study which will make their study much easier and also the results can be way more convincing.

AI has most of the data it needs and it doesn't take much time to aggregate, compile and come up with the final result. But I don't think they can come up with the same results as the analysts. Because one thing AI doesn't have is experience, which analysts have to accumulate through practice, relying on intuition and reasoning to achieve.

Therefore, I do not think AI can pose a threat to economic and financial analysts. On the contrary, AI will likely become a tool that benefits them.

The advent of AI will likely take away many jobs, but it is unlikely to threaten and take away jobs in fields like financial analysis and economics. Because these fields require more practical experience and thinking than just theory.

I feel like the whole AI thing is being blown out of proportion. Every day, we see how AI might replace one job or another, from programmers to pilots, photographers, and many more. Generally speaking, AI won't replace those jobs. What AI will do is make those jobs easier. There will always be financial analysts and economists, but they will be able to there jobs better with the help of AI. A job that would have taken them a day to do can be done in an hour or two. That is how I see the role of AI in this world, not to replace jobs completely.

Ai is a actually doing a good job in some specific areas and it makes things cheaper for people, and there jobs truly that won't get replaced but when you talk of planes in the nearest futures theh might be planes that are remotely controlled, when it comes to technology it is advancing every day so you can not even conclude, when it comes time analysis Ai just that when it is analyzing it as to have access to the correct data because some data might be outdated and it might affect the results, using Ai as it's own advantage and disadvantages,when using it you have to use it correctly.

Quote
On most of these jobs that people fear will be replaced by AI, there is this human input that cannot be taught to a machine, not yet, at least. An AI cant think for itself, it works based on the programme it has been taught. It doesn't have an intuition or a feeling. The way I see it, AI is not a threat; it's an ally. A tool that will make people's jobs relatively easier and better.

It works based on programms and access to information and that is why when you are using it, and that is why we're it is used matters a lot because it does not even have the right to over ride instructions, but as it is now people are just looking for ways to make things easy for them self, nothing more nothing less, and one way or the other Ai will replaces a lot of things in the future.

Not that i pay any attention to economists and financial analysts, but i do not think AI can replace them and the work they do. Are they going to adopt AI models to refine their work? Yes. But they cannot be completely replaced by it.

Having said that, there is quite a lot of buzz around AI and its models, and that leads some people to exaggerate the extent at which they would influence the world order. I personally do not think it would be as extensive as some people predict though. Economists tell a lot of lies, so i am sure they would like to keep everything within their power, lol.

For so many reasons,I so much doubt that AI can replace economists and financial analyst.AI may misinterpret financial trends, records, political events and social behavior.AI cannot possibly or fully replicate strategic thinking, judgement,complex insights, giving real life experience's teachings,storytelling and persuasive communication skills,and even a lot more.AI will do more of augmentation not replacement,surprisingly, humans will still dominate in the nearest future.

I would even say... it's important to understand that if anyone could use AI... there are no more advantages because everyone has the same instruments.

Economic and financial analysis work will likely still be handled by humans, but there will likely be collaboration between AI and humans for more optimal results. For example, economists could provide the information they need for AI analysis, and then the economists would interpret and provide their own analysis of the results, which would then be combined with their own experience and knowledge. In this way, economists and analysts might be able to analyze more quickly and effectively, and they could reach things that were previously unthinkable or too complex to analyze manually.

but when you talk of planes in the nearest futures theh might be planes that are remotely controlled, when it comes to technology it is advancing every day so you can not even conclude,

Except you're talking about fighter jets and other military or smaller aircraft like fighter drones, planes will always be man-controlled for the foreseeable future. A commercial plane will always have a pilot and a co-pilot present, no matter how advanced the AI is. There is no way you will put 100+ people in a plane and not be able to put at least 2 pilots to manually control the plane when they need to.
A plane carrying over 180 people crashed in 2018 because the AI software overrode the command of the pilot. It caused the plane to nosedive and killed everybody on board. This is a case with a pilot present; talk more about when a pilot is not present. I don't think the world will ever be ready to have commercial planes with no pilots.

AI, when used as an assistant can reduce hours of hard work and also can prove to make the work much easier. This what we are looking forward to. We do not want to complete rely on AI because we can't be 100% sure of the outcomes but we can use those results as our basic research and can continue making it better in the end results. People do rely on AI sometimes but it can be harmful because even the data we feed to AI is not private and AI can use it elsewhere without our consent.

I am always amused by movies like robot uprising and wonder can this really happen if AI is well trained to be developed into a self-thinking robot? This can be the biggest threat to mankind but as of now, it is far away from being a reality.

I think too much meaning is being attributed to AI. AI isn't that advanced of software right now. Maybe in 10 years it will be in a different place, but right now it can't handle anything beyond basic needs. If AI were successful in finance, everything would already be automated. Investment decisions aren't made based solely on fundamental and technical analysis, formulas and charts, without the human and emotional factor.
Additionally, what you wrote is labeled as AI-generated. So, even when asking about AI, you've used AI yourself. Recognizing that is so simple. :D

You're right about future of economic and financial analysis. In past all financial and economic analysis are manually done by humans but now this work is done with collaboration of AI and its easy to use and much more efficient than humans If we use AI we initially provided relevant data and questions, then review and interpret the results based on their experience. In response AI generate very positive results and that's are much more efficient and faster and huge in size then economists would interpret and provide their own analysis of the results, which would then be combined with their own experience and knowledge and after that the result is formed is much more efficient and accurate than humans. The learning point is that for economic analysis combination of AI and humans produce more accurate results than AI and humans done individually and future can not replace humans to AI but uses the combination of both approaches.

As your AI written post demonstrates, artificial intelligence hasn’t reached a point where it can convincingly replicate human behavior. Data analysis already relies heavily on computer programs, but that isn’t what we typically consider to be AI.

You could use AI to summarize your data quickly, but you don’t want to become too dependent on it. Humans analysts don’t have random hallucinations and are therefore more accurate. AI only has the data it is given and can’t create policy without fully understanding nuances that are outside of its available information.

Ai is No better than a person's own mind. Still Ai can't beat human economists and financial analysts. AI can't fully understand human behavior and social influences. Humans have experience and good judgment which they deal with other humans. it does not gave any special opportunity that a man can use in their daily life or in any business context. It is essential to have the human brain capacity to make informed decisions in life. AI may improve its tools in the future, even then it will not be able to compete with human thinking . Because AI itself is capability created by human thought. The brain of experts will remain stronger and more important for people in future.

AI can replace pretty much everything in the long run. Economists and financial analysts are pretty much useless. I haven't trusted a financial analyst in my entire life. Any type of work, that involves the process of gathering and analyzing data can be outsourced to AI. I'm sure that AI will keep improving and it will make less and less mistakes and miscalculations. Maybe there will be a transitional period, when humans will still have to keep and eye and supervise what AI does, but this would last for several months at maximum. AFAIK, the computational power of AI doubles every 7 months.

I understand your point but it may not be right to call economists and financial analysts a completely generic profession. And it is true that they always study the theory of textbooks but real economics does not always follow the rules of the book because economic analysis is developed by combining market behavior, human psychology, political decisions, international instability etc. Though AI may be able to analyze data and give an answer but AI can not give an argument in favor of the data as like a human can do.

In the field of analysis, AI plays a very good role and has replaced many people's jobs. Although AI did not perform very well when it was first introduced, but day by day AI models are being upgraded and gradually all positions are being replaced by AI and I think AI is increasing the unemployment rate of people. AI can complete the tasks that humans used to complete in a day in just a few minutes. And since AI has the ability to analyze something much better than humans, of course AI can replace economists and analysts. However, it can never replace those who are very experts.

Handing over decision making to machines is not good. We are humans who can decide for ourselves after we research. AI can suggest but the final decision is ours. We can follow the AI suggestion if we want but we must research and compare the data and not let AI decide for us.

But if they want AI to decide for them, that will not be a problem. Every decision they make will involve risks so they must understand and accept it. Even if that is about AI suggestion, that will still have risks.
I don't think a company who really wants to make good progress will hand over every single economic and financial analytics decision to AI to generate and also analyse. Al too makes mistakes, there must always be a balance between humans overseeing the output and telling the stories behind the generated analysis. Leaving everything solely for an AI machine to perform is like risking the future of their investments.

If we wanted, with the current model of AIs, we could immediately replace economists and financial analysts like Peter Schiff because he has no brain and any AI model, whether it's ChatGPT, Claude, Grok or Gemini, are much better in economics and finances than Peter Schiff. Btw AI can't replace real economists and financial analysts at the moment because AI often makes mistakes and has hallucinations. AI is good but AI models don't always work at the same rate. Sometimes they are good but when server load is high, they don't work very well. Btw hallucinations are a big problem of AI. Another problem is that it often tries to agree with you instead of arguing with you. AI still needs a lot of time.

AI makes lots of mistakes and it is provided with data to build a knowledge. It doesn't have the ability to think the way we think, it's not really an intelligence, it's a combination of very good algorithms that works very well to process data. AI is good at reasoning through complex problems and analyzing arguments, that's how it works. It doesn't have neurons the way we have, it doesn't really work like our brain.
It can replace bad economists, those who suck at analysis so bad that AI's complex problems and analyzing ability overpasses their abilities. It can't beat real experts though at anything.

AI is good at programming, right? The quality of code written by it sucks. The design created by it sucks. Compared to professionals, it sucks at everything. It's good at certain things but that doesn't mean it replaces professionals right now.

Yes they did. To should ask Jim Cramer. Although, he is famous for saying the opposite. If he says Bitcoin is going to zero then know that Bitcoin is going to make a run for what it's know for and if he start blabbing and talk how bullish Bitcoin will becomes, then start packing your bags. This may sound funny but times without number he has said this and it did came to pass and sometimes I wonder what he is upto and why they don't mind their traditional finance business.

AI or no AI, nobody can predict how the market will go next. If we all do trust me the market will not go as many people expect, it will take time than many of us expect. It's better we don't know but we have to be bullish about the market and have your coin in your bag just incase the market took off unaware, you will know that you have Bitcoin in your bag and you don't have regret not buying.

Artificial intelligence makes work more efficient and easier in many areas. AI is being used more extensively in some sectors. Change is becoming inevitable in some areas.  As AI-supported studies become increasingly widespread, AI-supported workspaces are also being created in the economics field. This also has benefits for economic management.

I’m genuinely curious whether we’re moving toward a future where economists and analysts become more like supervisors, guiding AI tools rather than making the calls themselves. Or are we edging toward something more dramatic, where algorithms take the lead and humans step back?
AI can't replace anyone except the few job roles but seriously, recently I saw a video of China deploying their robot on LOC on the Indian border, they are getting more smart as usual and now this changes everything, like most of the time in harsh weather, these can't work I think but the weather in the video seems alright.

So it was just for observation which can be done via drones too but that robot might reduce the need of few militants, as the operator must be one that replaces a group I guess. Or they are just testing.

Depends on the economists and financial analysts that you are talking about. The bad ones? Surely, because AI will be better than the bad ones. But the good ones? Good ones will not be replaced, they will be using AI to make even more. This way, instead of having 100 analyst that does analysis, you will have 50 and they will use AI to make as much as the 100 was making.

This will of course cause a lot of layoffs and all the bad ones that did not make money will be gone, but it would allow the best ones to make more, while CEO makes even more. This is not an easy decision to make yet because AI is not there yet, but AI will improve and be better and then we can make this work, I think that would be the best case.

If then the AI level is not professional enough anyone can still turn to an economist, this is optional besides if thinking in this manner I’m sure the work rate for such profession will decrease. AI can’t take the working place of humans although consulting doesn’t mean AI is fully replacing financial analysis hell no rather making different kinds of assumption etc. There’s absolutely nothing different seeking knowledge from both sides, obviously this is  not a comparison because replacing humans will take a lot and from previous history the record involving AI being able to replace humans seems small.

If everything can be analyzed with AI, even those who create the AI are already wealthy beforehand. Because if the analysis is accurate, the creators of the AI who can invest in stocks, forex markets, etc., would certainly be wealthy first due to the accuracy, rather than the users who are just trying to use AI to analyze the economy, economic conditions, money markets, and stock markets.

With errors in the result you need to check it.
A search and double-check is advised in all things financial.
 
That makes AI a no go. If you are a huge company and have already staff to check fine, just most people play around.
Even translations you need to check and checking is most of the time more expensive.

With predictive algorithms getting smarter every day, I can’t help but wonder: are we slowly handing over economic decision-making to machines? It feels like everywhere I look—financial markets, business forecasts, even policy simulations—AI models are stepping into roles that were once reserved for economists and financial analysts with years of training and experience.

I’m genuinely curious whether we’re moving toward a future where economists and analysts become more like supervisors, guiding AI tools rather than making the calls themselves. Or are we edging toward something more dramatic—where algorithms take the lead and humans step back?

I think everything will come together in the end. That is, AI will be utilized in various sectors. For example, an analyst will develop their own AI that will make their work easier. People will still need experts in this field, but experts will be assisted by AI in formulating problems. Decisions and conclusions made by AI sometimes contain errors. I have tried it in my work. Perhaps the next generation of AI will be more reliable. However, I think the current AI still has certain weaknesses. Sometimes they make mistakes. They even admit it when I point it out to them. So, the point is that current AI models are not yet fully helpful. However, their accuracy is indeed increasing. And for financial analysis, they may develop further but still need to be monitored by an expert.

In recent times, AI is really playing an important role in every sector. People can easily perform their work using it. AI can analyze a lot of data in a short time. A man has to take a lot of time to take decisions. AI can easily do these tasks. He can guess the direction of the market trend very quickly, but when a person wants to take a decision maually, he will need a lot of time to review that data.

This is definitely reducing the work of humans and it will become more usable in the future but there are some things that are never possible without a human. That is why no matter how smart AI is, there is a need for humans. However, I agree that many people will lose jobs due to AI, on the other hand, some jobs will also be created.

AI will not replace economist. it will only make them more efficient. Efficient in the sense that they are able to build more advanced predictive models that can make very accurate predictions compared to what we used to have in the past. And this will in turn improve economic outcomes of countries that decide to embrace them and invest heavily in its research and development. 

Some advance countries are taking advantage of the invention of AI to change their economy while some other countries are seeing it as something that has come to replace the job of humans which is not really the reason for the invention of AI. economist knows that their job is going to be made easier through the invention of AI they will only need to do more research and think so that they can have a good idea to blend in with everything that AI will be providing so that more good discoveries will be achieved and things made way easier.

Did any AI predict the latest fall of BTC?
They did not.
Everyone who believed in cycle repetition knew that bear market was incoming. And to be fair, no economist, technical analysist or financial analyst would have knew what day or week it would happen. Anyone saying they did would be lying.

And since chatgpt just parrots randomly stuff, it probably predicted that as well. But it wouldn't have "opinion" other then copying opinion of majority of statements it has stored to itself.

And just to be clear, Current AI tech doesn't have any insight about economics or financial analysis because it doesn't understand the concept of them. It's a freaking glorified text predicting software and there's no intelligence behind that parroting and sorting.

If AI can do the work of financial analysts and economists, why not replace them with AI? I do not think there is anything that is bad there. As some jobs will be lost because of AI, some jobs will be created.

But I think that AI can not replace economists and financial analysts but AI will help economists and financial analysts instead.

This is what I found out about it:

Quote
AI will not fully replace economists and financial analysts, but will transform their roles by automating repetitive tasks, enhancing efficiency, and creating new opportunities for strategic, human-centric work. Instead of replacement, the trend is toward an "augmentation" where analysts use AI to gain deeper insights and make more informed decisions, shifting the focus to skills like strategic thinking, complex problem-solving, and client management that AI cannot replicate.
This has been what AI have done. AI don’t completely replace Jobs but helps transform those in that job but it can pamper incompetent people in that role as AI won’t only help improve the experienced and good at their job people but also it can transform the incompetent ones who without AI will fall off considerably.
If one can master the AI they don’t have to be experienced economists to become transformed economist analysts.

AI companies are growing faster than they should and it is a clear bubble. All those Nvidia and similar services that are getting insane valuation, all because of this AI revolution we are in, is not a smart move and will burst eventually. Not because AI is bad, it will continue to be better and better, but the companies are not making that kind of profit to call for a price they are at. This is why they are going to end up losing a ton of valuation and then marketcap hence we will see a red market again.

AI might replace most of human work which are required repeatedly without any modification like 100 definite solution for 100 scenario. So, economists and financial analysts cannot be an exception here. In my opinion, lower level jobs would be replaced by AI whereas higher level jobs like critical decision making jobs still will belong to human.

AI is not on the public level it is mostly used to do deep fakes.
Instagram, Tiktok will suffer as users get annoyed from AI produced content. Reddit comments tell you that much.

Quote
How can internet users distinguish an article by a genuine but little-known news website from an outright fake? Market participants often rely on “costly signals” to make such choices. An employer looking for a new hire, say, may seek applicants with a degree that took effort and a certain amount of skill, which indicates they might bring the same qualities to their work. The certificate allows employers to distinguish between good and bad applicants—creating what economists call a “separating equilibrium” and enabling transactions between willing participants. In the animal world, a peacock’s tail performs a similar role. A male lugging around a fan of feathers has to be fit to avoid predators.

There is definitely no way only AI will do this job without the close supervision of humans; humans will always be there to analyse too base on their own human understanding and life experiences around them which AI may not be able to capture. The only thing humans should be concerned about is that the number of employees working for this purpose whether for the government or private institutions will reduce greatly. AI makes work easier so there will no longer be need for more economists and financial analysts when AI is there to assist. Whether we like it or not, AI has come to stay and alot of people will lose their jobs if they do not upgrade their skills to be able to adapt to the new system.

Based on this study[1], it's very likely that jobs from the business and financial operations are likely to be replaced by AI. But I think these industries are so broad and there has to be an exception about it. While some lite tasks can be replaced by the AI from these jobs of economists and financial analysts. I think that there's still a boundary between this technology and the jobs that are taking care of people's money. I believe that there shall still be some way of balancing the equilibrium about these jobs related to economy and finances.

Well, I think the lesson here is clear: invest your time in building, cleaning and maintenance. :D

This is the most promising field of jobs for humans from now on. Other areas are more likely to be replaced by AI in large scale. Not that economists and analysts will disappear, but a considerable portion of the tasks they currently do, AI will start doing for them. So, it will left for such professionals the task of analyzing the data collected and provided by AI.

For me it sounds like good news, because it means people in general will become more autonomous on financial matters. Since they have direct access to AI, it will be easier and cheaper for them to draw financial plans, without having to rely on advisors, who usually sell their services for very expensive costs.

Let AI do what they can help human in doing and allow human do what they can do better than the AI. i think that if we come to terms with this fact, there will not come a thought that AI is a source of threat to us or that it is coming to steal our jobs from us. from a basic standpoint, there are financial analysis that the use of AI can help solve based on how it is being programmed., at the basic level, AI can solve such problem but which it comes to complex economic issues like the ones the world is facing that combines economic issue as well as ethnic, religious and political challenges, you need a real economist that can factor all those things into consideration while carrying out his hypothesis or analysis.


I don't blame people that are complaining about the evolution of the Artificial intelligence, because they thinking and afraid that artificial intelligence is going to take away their only source of income and they will end up being disappointed and jobless.

We as humans, it is actually important to consider their feelings and emotions because they are actually speaking from their perspective. Ai is advancing which is very great, because it has been making some of our works faster and easier, and serve as a way of bringing growth and development to our societies, communities and the countries at large.

The simplest skills that we can have a job from, like the typical blue collar jobs. They're unlikely to be replaced by the AI and so you're right that we should start having those skills while that's a normal skill. It is the reason, why I truly believe that even with the scare of replacing and removing a lot of jobs by AI. We'll still see jobs that it cannot be replaced and then the jobs that it can generate for the most of us. We have to act on it because of how fast pace it is in doing its thing, we have to be proactive with how it changes the job market too.

I personally think that AI is a machine that provides us with the same information that humans create with comments or data.
But humans are the most intelligent brain and can also feel emotions and feelings, which is never possible for machines or devices, so I think that no matter how powerful AI becomes, a human will still be needed to give it commands. And so I don't think that the replacement of a professional person in any profession will not be through AI, yes, there will be replacements who do not know how to use AI properly, and there are still people who were not able to make themselves competent in the competition.

There are some sectors where AI is working as an alternative to humans. Especially in the industrial sector or industry where one person was needed to operate a machine, AI has been used in such a way that humans are no longer needed there. However, AI will not take away the jobs of economists or financial analysts because this sector is different, rather it will change the way they work. Earlier, when it took 2-3 hours to analyze a data, it can be done in 1-2 minutes using AI. This has made the work much easier and additional work can be done during this time. However, more research is needed on this.

AI will eventually replace 90% of the jobs and the work. The potential of AI is still unknown to many of us. We are used to Google (search) things and use ChatGPT in the same sense. Some of the more genius ones have learnt prompt engineering and they think they are better than the rest of the people.

AI is a lot bigger than we can imagine at this time. We are yet to discover its full potential, and by the time we know, it's maybe too late to cope with the new tools. Generative AI is changing the world way too fast and ordinary human can't even imagine it right now.
