As manufacturing is laying off workers in favor of AI and more experienced talent, some argue a workforce transformation is underway.
What you'll learn:
AI drove manufacturing job losses to a 20-year high in October, though cost-cutting was the primary reason and AI adoption was the second-leading cause.
Executives argue AI is reshaping rather than eliminating jobs, with workers transitioning to become "AI supervisors" who focus on problem-solving and innovation while AI handles routine tasks like data entry and inspections.
Industry leaders recommend upskilling existing workers instead of layoffs.
Although the adoption of artificial intelligence played the second-leading role in October in pushing monthly industrial job losses to a 20-year high, some experts argued AI is instead reshaping the workforce, and they encouraged employers to invest in existing talent rather than lay off their employees.
