depends, if ai can do invoices from humans speaking and also make decisions on the spot, then yes but what if you don't have the internet for a day or week and say a data entry specialist can form your invoices, payroll, client payments on paper. it really depends. if wages get pushed lower it could also make more sense to hire data entry more than use and upkept AI. but lower wages aren't necessary people like. time will tell.

Yes, AI will replace data entry jobs because these kinds of jobs are very simple to do. Even a fresher can also do this.

This job is already automated using software. There are already scripts that can key in data for you and anyone that does not use these programs to enter data is losing money.
