This is the question most people have and few ask in the room. It deserves a straight answer, including the part nobody can promise.
Tasks go, jobs change
A job is a bundle of tasks. AI is good at some of them: reading long documents, writing a first draft, checking one list against another, turning notes into an email. It is poor at others: knowing which customer is about to leave, deciding what matters this week, taking responsibility for a call.
So what usually happens in a business of ten to a hundred people is not that a role disappears. The routine half of it shrinks, and the question becomes what fills the space.
The part that depends on your employer
That question is not answered by the technology. It is answered by the owner.
One business uses the time to cut. Another uses it to stop hiring for every step up in revenue, to take work back from contractors, or to let a stretched person do the part of the job they were hired for. In a small business the second is the natural one, because there is rarely a spare person to cut. There is more often one person doing a job and a half.
Time that is not pointed at something simply disappears. A good rollout decides in advance where the saved hours go.
What a good owner says out loud
If you run the business, say it before the training starts, in plain words: nobody is losing their job because of this, roles will change, and here is what we want the time for. Then keep the promise.
Silence is not neutral. People fill it with the worst reading, and they will quietly keep their best tricks to themselves. Nobody documents their job to lose it.
What I cannot promise
Nobody can tell you what a role looks like in ten years. Some kinds of work will shrink across the economy, and a promise from one employer covers only that employer.
What I can say is that the people best placed are rarely the most technical. They are the ones who know the job well and start using AI on it early, while they still get to shape how it is used.
