The AI Impact Timeline: What to Expect
AI automation for Compensation, Benefits, and Job Analysis Specialists is projected to reach 45% by 2029. Routine tasks like salary benchmarking, benefits data analysis, job evaluation scoring, and compliance reporting are prime candidates for AI takeover.
Junior specialists focused on administrative tasks will experience the initial wave of AI impact as early as 2024. This shift means a need for early adaptation for those in entry-level positions within the field.
Senior specialists with strategic expertise, such as compensation strategy design, executive compensation, and change management, can expect a longer runway, potentially extending their careers to 2034 and beyond. Mid-wave transformation will require upskilling for these roles.
