Is business analyst work AI-proof?
A large share of the day-to-day tasks are automatable. The role is being redefined around what is left.
The honest read
Documentation and requirement drafting accelerate. Elicitation and negotiation stay human.
People do not know what they need until someone skilled asks properly. That is the role.
Framing follows the WEF Future of Jobs Report 2025 and PwC Global AI Jobs Barometer 2025: most roles see task-level augmentation rather than wholesale replacement.
