TL;DR
Project Coordinators are sitting ducks for AI automation since 70% of their work is organizing data and following project management frameworks that AI can already handle. The coordination part stays human, but the coordinator part is getting Slacked by AI assistants that never forget a deadline or double-book a conference room. AI tools are already entering Project Coordinator workflows, and the automation trend is expected to accelerate significantly within the next 5 years.
