Workers’ Fear of Robots One of the biggest fears of workers facing robots is unemployment. AI and robots are increasingly replacing tasks performed by humans, from simple tasks to specialized, high-skilled jobs that require craftsmanship, gradually being replaced by automation.
The labor market can be divided into two main groups: those with expertise, experience, and skills, and those without experience or expertise (for example, career changers, recent graduates, or those without qualifications). For skilled workers: Artificial intelligence and robotic automation can replace them to perform tasks faster and more efficiently. This reduces promotion opportunities or may lead to workforce reduction. For workers without experience and expertise, they face fierce competition and the enhancement of artificial intelligence, making job opportunities scarce and creating significant pressure in finding suitable employment. Additionally, many businesses are currently facing challenges with older workers, and the learning and adaptability of this group may be limited compared to robots.
However, in the manufacturing industry, the strength of robots lies in their ability to operate automation sequentially and accurately, combined with the reasoning and flexible situational responsiveness of human labor, ensuring smooth and timely production processes. Work cannot be completed perfectly without either of the two main factors: humans or AI. As of now, even though we have entered the Fourth Industrial Revolution, building a 100% automated factory is still unfeasible. A factory cannot operate smoothly without the human factor in management and supervision. Simultaneously, old-fashioned enterprises relying 100% on labor force, cannot achieve the efficiency of high-tech machinery.
With the development of technology, especially artificial intelligence (AI) and automation, many industries have witnessed significant transformations in how work is carried out and human resource management. Although there is a phenomenon of job cuts in some industries, automation also creates new employment opportunities.
Areas such as the development and maintenance of automated technology, data management, and designing automated solutions can create many new opportunities for workers. Some professions may shift from manual work to automation, leading to diversification and innovation in how products and services are produced and delivered, thereby creating new positions for operation management and process monitoring.
In the future, technologies such as collaborative robots, process automation robots, autonomous mobile robots, and microorder fulfillment centers will continue to shape the labor market. For organizations, readiness and investment in training are the keys to adapting and developing in a challenging but opportunistic business environment.
