Will AI replace consultants?

July 23, 2023

Artificial intelligence (AI) systems will eventually replace many, if not most, human consultants. This will not happen overnight. The transition from human consultants to AI consultants will take effect gradually during the next two decades. Consulting companies will thrive in the near future combining the capabilities of human consultants and AI consultants. 

What are consulting companies and what do they do?

Consulting companies are business management advisory firms. Consulting companies provide expert  professional support services to help business organizations succeed in different situations. Client organizations hire consulting firms to obtain help in areas outside of the core expertise of the client organization. 

Consulting companies can help client organizations overcome crises, undertake transformations, and improve performance. Consulting companies bring expertise to address complex or novel problems. Although consulting companies provide technical assistance on almost every aspect of business life or organizational performance, the most common areas for consulting can be said to be: management, disputes, financial, information technology, and sustainability (MDFITS)

   Management: 

    Consulting companies advise their clients on strategic management issues and decisions. Strategic management advice can involve helping client organizations frame their mission, sharpen their vision, set strategic goals, and formulate actionable plans to achieve those strategic goals. 
    
    Consultants can help organizations craft and implement plans to improve performance in specific areas or overall. Consultants analyze internal capabilities, business processes, organizational structures, management practices, industry dynamics, and economic factors to identify areas for improvement. Once areas for improvement are identified, consultants recommend best management practices for implementation. Overall, management consulting focuses on improving the efficiency and effectiveness of client organizations.  

    Consultants can also help client organizations with functions related to the management of personnel or human resources, including talent acquisition, performance management, employee engagement, compensation planning, and professional development. Consultants can also help client organizations during periods of restructuring or transformation such as during mergers and acquisitions, bankruptcy restructurings, or complex disputes or alternate dispute resolution proceedings.    

    Financial: 

    Consulting companies can provide specialized financial planning, budgeting, and financial analysis. This could be as part of general improvement and risk management, or as part of preparation for specific changes such financial restructuring due to special events such as bankruptcies or mergers and acquisitions.

    Information Technology: 

    Consulting companies tend to have specialized divisions dedicated to provide advice and technical support to client organizations in everything having to do with information technology (IT). IT consultants offer expert support in hardware systems and software applications. These days, IT consulting support includes deployment and development of AI solutions. IT consultants help client organizations adopt and implement IT and AI solutions to enhance productivity and develop competitive advantages.

   Sustainability: 
    
    Consulting companies can also provide specialized advice regarding environmental sustainability, environmental impact assessments, green and climate change initiatives.

How do consulting companies provide the "MDFITS" consulting services?

Consulting companies employ a wide range of human professionals with diverse knowledge, expertise, and experience. Consulting companies leverage and combine the expertise of their human consultants to service their clients. Consulting companies often work on a project-by-project basis, tailoring their services to the specific needs of each client. A project manager or team of project managers is typically assigned to coordinate the functions and deliverables of the consulting team. 

AI is the future of consulting

AI promises to be the most disruptive and transformative technology in the history of humanity. AI will impact every single industry and economic sector just like computers and the internet did in the past decades. Consulting is not an exception to the expansion of AI. Consulting may actually play a key role in the deployment and continuous training and improvement of AI. 

AI-powered consulting will see a massive boom and growth within the next 30 years. As described above, consulting companies assist their clients in making informed decisions to enhance performance. By leveraging the artificial intelligence produced by duly trained computers and programs with the biological intelligence produced by duly trained human experts, consulting companies will provide superior consulting services to their clients. 

The time is now. The next 20 to 30 years will mark the transition from mostly human consultants to mostly AI consultants. If you are in the consulting field, this is the time for you to seize the AI opportunity with eyes on taking ownership stakes in AI-powered consulting ventures. Consulting for performance improvement (pi) is a practically infinite (pi) business opportunity. It's what we call pi square.

When will the Tesla bubble burst?

December 11, 2024 When will the Tesla bubble burst?  We don't know Fools rush in. It's impossible to know exactly when the Tesla bubble will finally burst. Unfortunately for us at Creatix, we began shorting Tesla too soon. We are down almost 40% on our position as of today. We are not fooling ourselves thinking that we were ever make money on the short position. We truly doubt that Tesla can go down 40% any time soon.  We would love to add to the short position, but it would exceed our $3,000 limit on the stupid bets that we do for fun. We're not Mr. Beast. We have a very limited budget for ridiculousness. We would love to short Tesla tomorrow morning at the ridiculous share price of $424. Tesla is trading at an incredible 116 times earnings, which gives Tesla a market capitalization of $1.32 Trillion. Elon Musk added today $13.4 billion to his fortune. Yes, $13 billion in one day. Yesterday, he had added $11 billion. Yes, that's $24 billion in 2 days.  Six months ago, ...

Will Tariffs Reduce the National Debt?

Creatix / June 30, 2025 The U.S. national debt has surpassed $34.7 trillion , and the cost of servicing that debt— just the interest payments—has soared to over $1 trillion annually as of mid-2025. This marks a historic shift: we now spend more just paying interest on the National debt than on defense, Medicare, or any single discretionary program. Economists warn that unless fiscal policy changes, interest costs will crowd out critical investments in infrastructure, education, and innovation, deepening the structural debt burden for future generations. From Osama to MAGA OBBA: the path to U.S. bankruptcy. Osama Bin Laden "succeeded" in putting us in a path to bankruptcy. The U.S. national debt began to increase dramatically after 9/11, marking a sharp departure from the budget surpluses of the late 1990s. In response to the terrorist attacks, the U.S. launched costly wars in Afghanistan and Iraq, while also implementing sweeping tax cuts under the Bush administration. These...

How TikTok can Artificially Spread Socialism in America?

Creatix / June 29, 2025 TikTok's Socialist Movement in New York City  In one of the most unexpected political turns in recent New York history, Zohran Mamdani , the democratic socialist Assemblymember from Queens, has defeated former Governor Andrew Cuomo in the Democratic primary for New York City mayor. While the general election remains to be decided in November of this year, Mamdani is now the clear frontrunner. His socialist victory signals not just a generational shift, but the rise of a new kind of political power: one fueled by TikTok , a Chinese-owned social media platform that has become Gen Z’s ideological training ground. From Astoria to Citywide Dominance Mamdani first rose to prominence as a bold and principled advocate for tenants’ rights, public transportation reform, and wealth redistribution in the State Assembly. But his stunning mayoral primary win wasn’t just about policy—it was about algorithmic delivery powered by Chinese media company. Mamdani didn’t r...
