Hybrid Threat

Both AI software and physical automation threaten different aspects of this role, creating a compound risk from multiple directions.

Demonstrators and product promoters provide live in-person demonstrations at retail locations, events, and trade shows — a role where physical presence, live product interaction, and persuasive interpersonal engagement are the service. AI and digital alternatives (product videos, AI chatbots) partially substitute for demonstrations in online contexts, but in-person demo roles at Costco, home shows, and trade expos remain human-dependent. Through 2027, in-person demonstration roles persist but growth is flat, with the decline in physical retail traffic being the primary threat.
