Questions about iGaming product owners and AI

Writing user stories and acceptance criteria is the most exposed task, with an exposure score of 72, so AI drafts them and the product owner reviews the result. Release notes come next at 58, since AI produces the first draft quickly. A person still checks each draft against the backlog before it reaches the team.
Which tasks stay with iGaming product owners?
Trade-off decisions on scope, timing and quality score lowest at 15 on exposure, because they need business context and someone accountable for the call. Running sprint planning and refinement sessions scores 22, since live facilitation stays with people while AI handles agendas and notes.
