Future of Work and Skill Development

Abstract

In the modern era of automation and AI (Artificial Intelligence) technologies, the work is transforming with smarter machines and technology. They are fetching several advantages including efficiency, productivity, enhanced performance as well as quality of work. The work with future technologies will not only change the workplace but also change the skills of human workers. The future of work increasingly demands highly skilled personnel for human-machine interaction. There is a potential skill shift to acquire the benefits of advanced technologies.

Going forward to automation and AI, the demand for these skills is accelerated. Despite the demand for technological skills being important, the increase in the need for social and emotional skills will equally accelerate. On the other hand, physical and manual skills will be effectively declined in the modern workplace.
