> AI may be a great calculator, but in business, intelligence is mostly judgment. Judgment depends on context, and the answer varies with which human or which model you ask. Perhaps most importantly, AI does not understand accountability, trust, culture, unwritten rules, ethical trade-offs or fairness, all of which shape reputational risk and ultimately drive revenue growth and profit margins.

All of this is true, but the reality is that LLM agents free up time for people to make judgement by taking care of the grunt work, which means each person can do more. That increased efficiency can mean higher revenues in growth industries and higher profits (through reduced labor force) in stable or declining industries.
