Why do you say this? If you implement it via AI then sure, but I’ve done plenty of process automation without needing a strong mathematical background.
What I have in mind is speaking to business people to understand what they do, learn what the business rules are and write systems that implement those flows (and hopefully skip steps that are actually redundant).
Perhaps you meant something else?
Every company needs a website and there are plenty of cheap services offering to build one. But the real money is made if you can make someone's internal processes or production planning more efficient. For example, what's the worth of an AI that automates a process that currently costs $1 mio annually? Management will be ecstatic to pay you $200k annually to get those cost savings...
