There seems to be confusion between submission managers and regulatory affairs managers. The regulatory affairs manager job at least for CMC requires a combinations of such as technical skills, understanding of evolving regulatory requirements across different markets, ability to interact with regulatory authorities etc. it's not just about reviewing reviewing and formatting submission documents.

AI is advancing rapidly. RA Managers primarily review documentation, which is a skill AI is great at, especially fact-based reviews.

Regulatory Affairs is primarily about reviewing, compiling, and formatting documentation, and cross-referencing against other documents. AI is also great ay reviewing regulations and guidance documents and summarizing/analyzing them. These are skills that AI (a form of automation) is progressively getting better at. While review of AI generated documents might be needed in the short-term, in the long-term, even that can be replaced.
