will AI replace audio and video technicians?

Your role is secure. AI has almost no foothold in audio and video technician work, and the field is growing steadily. The two areas where AI offers some speed, graphic design and producing training materials, are minor parts of your job. They'll get faster, not disappear. What keeps you safe is hands-on work that requires real-time decision making and physical presence. You're directing crew during production, operating mixing boards at live events, switching between camera feeds as things happen, recording and editing audio for soundtracks, installing and adjusting equipment. These tasks need someone in the room who can respond to what's actually unfolding. A system can't replace the judgment call you make when a performer moves unexpectedly or a mic fails mid-show. The small productivity gains in graphics and manual writing might shift those tasks around or reduce how much time they take. But they're not your core work. Stay sharp on the technical skills that matter, and you'll move through the next decade without disruption.
