Role redesign

Explicit redefinition of jobs when AI shifts tasks between humans and systems — covering new accountabilities, required skills, oversight responsibilities, and performance metrics.

What this means in practice

Distinct from role description updates because it originates with task-level analysis (which tasks move, which stay, which transform) rather than title-level iteration.

Synonyms

AI-era role redesign , job redesign for AI
