Organizational changes are (almost ALWAYS) SLoooooooowwww. If you see it being a reality in 4 years, it will probably take 8. If you see it 10 years down the road, it'll probably be 20. The only thing that can spur (immediate) innovation is an immediate and massive downturn that forces the market's hand into higher levels of efficiency. And even then its a 'get more efficient or die' option that, not surprisingly, some large corporations will choose the latter. That process could take decades (Example: Sears). Basically, I wouldn't assume that automation is 'destined' to happen.
Also, I'm a firm believer that innovation spurs higher levels of employment, not job-elimination. As a net effect, there are a similar number of jobs but at a higher level of skill (usually). A great example of this is at the end of "Hidden Figures". (Great movie and true story, BTW). In other words, learn and step up into a higher level of work in either (1) interpreting / managing the automation or (2) maintaining / creating the automation.
Overall, I don't think the automation will happen as quickly as you think. And if it does, just be prepared to enter a role that exists to support the automation.
