HSBC CIB - which area is the best to apply for in terms of future proofing your career

Hey, I am from the UK. Planning to apply for HSBC CIB division. I was wondering what the best area of CIB is in terms of future proofing career. I like IB and global investment research. I prefer the global investment research and have lots of relevant experience in the area, but am afraid of AI taking over the field and it being more competitive with less seats.

Is there any other path you would look at?
