Which of these finance roles could be easily automated?

As of right now, everyone knows that trading and research are going to be the first that get hit with cuts with active investing AM being not too far behind. Apart from these roles, which other roles are dangerous to enter right now due to automation?

Can anyone tell me what these jobs are gonna look like after automation?

-IB M&A and industry groups

-IB capital markets (ECM/DCM)

-PE/VC

-Corporate banking

-PWM/Private banking

-Sales roles (S part of S&T, Real estate, Insurance)

-Corporate finance, development, strategy and other corporate sided roles

-Accounting

Which of these jobs is going to be most affected by the new age of automation? Many of these roles require a lot of advisory and face to face interaction which makes me wonder if automation will ever fully take over them.
