In the AI era: what happens to Demonstrator and product promoter
The impact of AI on demonstrators and product promoters is mixed: AI can automate product demonstration scripts, customer Q&A generation, and video production, but human interaction, improvisation, and trust-building still rely on people. Entry-level positions face increased competition due to AI tools, but the barrier to entry has not significantly risen.

Advanced path: from live demonstrations to 'demonstration strategist' roles, combining AI data analysis to optimize presentation effectiveness; or upgrade to product marketing specialist, responsible for AI-driven omnichannel promotion; or transition to sales management, using AI sales tools to boost team performance. Requires additional digital and data analysis skills.
