"Expect heavily automated production lines and distribution networks, extensive use of robotics, and strategic use of humans for those fiddly jobs robots aren't good at, and for the highly skilled system maintenance roles. Semi-skilled labor That's not to say you'll need to be highly skilled yourself - you'll just need to know enough about what you're doing not to get hurt and be able to wear a Vision Pro headset to handle challenges with help from the specialist at head office."
"It's so much cheaper to employ one hugely skilled specialist and some reasonably smart engineers than to ensure that all the tech workers are equally capable. In some cases, you won't even need a human at the front end, because the AI-driven robot will be able to collaborate just as well in some tasks. Though you probably won't want to risk a $100,000 automaton in any of the more dangerous, high-risk challenges."
Heavily automated production lines and distribution networks will rely on extensive robotics while humans handle fiddly tasks and high-level system maintenance. Semi-skilled workers will often suffice for frontline roles provided they understand safety basics and can use augmented headsets to receive remote specialist guidance. Employers will favor a small number of highly skilled specialists and reasonably skilled engineers rather than making all tech workers equally expert. AI-driven robots will be capable of collaborating on some front-end tasks without human intervention. Expensive automatons will be withheld from high-risk situations in favor of humans. Insurance calculations and contractual terms will influence decisions about human versus machine deployment.
