It's going to be one of the last jobs to be automated because it has a massive amount of client facing/relationship work and despite your disdain for it, the fact is that it is more complex and demanding than the vast majority of white collar jobs out there. It also is an extremely small industry in terms of actual headcount, probably 150K worldwide

We've had plenty of stuff like NLP for 10-Ks and management calls but the job has been relatively unchanged overtime save for the introduction of CapIQ, Bloomberg and Excel. Which isn't to say that it can't change, but that it probably won't happen anytime soon.
