The AI Impact Timeline: What to Expect
The impact of AI on Loan Interviewers and Clerks is unfolding in stages. Entry-level positions in routine, high-volume settings face potential automation as early as 2026. For those in standardized environments, task automation could reach 88-93% by 2032. However, experienced specialists handling complex, custom, or high-value applications can anticipate their roles evolving, potentially extending their careers to 2032 or beyond.
The early wave of automation, starting around 2026, will primarily affect routine and high-volume tasks. This means that the more repetitive aspects of loan processing will be the first to be handled by AI and advanced systems, impacting entry-level positions most directly.
As we move towards mid-wave transformation, the scope of automation expands. By 2032, workers in standardized settings could see a significant majority of their tasks automated, reaching up to 93%. This necessitates a proactive approach to skill development and role adaptation.
