11. Fully Funded PhD in Human-centric future skills in manufacturing
Summary of Funded PhD Program
The rise of AI and automation as competitors to human labor poses a threat to the employability of workers, particularly those whose tasks are highly susceptible to automation. Recent studies indicate that generative AI could impact 19% of the workforce, with over 50% of their tasks being automated, potentially leading to job losses in specific sectors. Despite this anticipated outcome, the World Economic Forum reports that only 16% of manufacturers implementing AI in their production processes have achieved their AI-related targets. Nonetheless, technology and AI can also enhance and support workers in various tasks, as manual labor remains integral to many work systems.
