ABSTRACT

Advances in artificial intelligence (AI) are expected to significantly reshape the labour market and more than likely change almost every job to some extent. There will be jobs that will benefit from it, but there will be jobs where human labour becomes completely unnecessary. Computers, automated systems, artificial intelligence and robots are replacing many jobs previously performed by humans. Researchers argue that labour market opportunities and outcomes for the lesser educated have diminished over recent decades, which makes them more vulnerable. In Industry 4.0. context, the arrival of intelligent machines fundamentally changes labour requirements and creates a new concept: Worker 4.0. The workers will fully utilise digital tools, such as big data analytics, the Internet of Things, cloud computing, autonomous and robotics systems, cyber security, augmented reality, simulation, system integration or additive manufacturing, which will make them able to increase their productivity.
