Partly. About 5 in 10 working hours go to tasks AI can already do, mostly order ticket entry and commission calculations. Client interviews, price negotiation, and staff supervision stay with people because they need live judgement and trust. What tasks will AI take from stockbrokers? Completing order tickets, with an exposure score of 80, is structured data entry from client requests. Relaying buy and sell orders to exchanges, with an exposure score of 75, is largely software-driven. Both cut the clerical share of the day. Which tasks stay human for stockbrokers? Supervising support staff, with an exposure score of 20, is people management that needs live judgement. Negotiating prices and contracts, at 30, involves live give and take with counterparties. Client interviews, at 35, stay human because AI can pre-fill forms, but the conversation still needs a person. How can stockbrokers stay valuable with AI? Run each client interview yourself, then log the stated objectives in Salesforce so follow-ups carry the record. Model price targets in Excel before a negotiation, and take the result into the live counterparty call. Pitch trusts and investments in PowerPoint tied to each client's goals. ## Related jobs - [Credit analysts62 out of 100](https://www.aigentcy.com/ai-exposure/credit-analysts/) - [Sales representatives of services66 out of 100](https://www.aigentcy.com/ai-exposure/sales-representatives-of-services/) - [Tellers53 out of 100](https://www.aigentcy.com/ai-exposure/tellers/) - [Financial managers49 out of 100](https://www.aigentcy.com/ai-exposure/financial-managers/) ## Next steps for stockbrokers - ### Check your job Your job title is a rough guide.
