How AI is changing this work

Automation has reduced certain repetitive clerical tasks, but has not eliminated the need for organized administrative support. AI automation systems can analyze and extract information from documents automatically, allowing businesses to process documents faster while reducing administrative workload. The realistic picture: the repetitive parts of admin work (data entry, document sorting, scheduling) are being automated now. The coordination, judgment and communication parts still need people. If you're comfortable learning software tools and adapting as they change, you can work in this field. If you want to just do the same repetitive task for 40 years, the job market is shrinking.
