He suggests these capabilities are already possible for skilled practitioners.

I think predictive analytics is something that it'll definitely play in in the future. I think, you know, if you look at and think about, you know, if you make changes in the environment, what are the costs to do so? From a licensing perspective, I do think that it will be able to play there. I actually think you can use it to, you know, forecast changes in cost over time as well, prior to actually implementing them. So I think it can, you know, watch and see what has changed. But I think he will be able to feed it as well and say, if we make this change, what is the impact? What is the cost going to be? I do believe that it's probably there today. If you really know what you're doing, you should be able to do those sorts of things.
