Accounting dies with the birth of sentient AI

That being said, Big 4 lobbies a metric shit ton of money into Congress, so good luck trying to kill them off without a fight

machine learning will cost jobs in both the accounting profession and legal profession in the next decade. Radiologist will be one of the first medical professions to take a hit too.
