EXCLUSIVEIs YOUR job at risk from the AI revolution? Six experts predict roles that will be WIPED OUT by AI this decade

Who’s at risk of mass job losses caused by the AI revolution – blue or white collar workers?

Most experts agree that artificial intelligence will completely upend the American workforce ( there are already signs it’s doing so in the tech industry ).

But there have been conflicting reports about who is more at risk, lower-wage workers or middle-management types.A report by the think-tank McKinsey Global estimated Americans on the lowest wages are up to 14 times more likely to be replaced by AI those on the highest.But a separate JP Morgan report predicted ‘mass-scale white-collar job realignment’ this decade.DailyMail.com spoke […]

Automated Converting Equipment

Automated Converting Equipment

The newest equipment utilizes technology to meet the quality demands and fast turnaround times of today’s brands.

The term “game-changing” has been casually thrown around for many years, especially regarding new label and package printing product launches. In theory, every product has the potential to positively impact a label printing business, making the phrase overused. However, the advent of automated converting equipment really does fit the bill. Why? Because many of today’s converters don’t have the workforce to tackle the work flowing into print shops.

Converters that L&NW talks to cite automation as one of the industry’s hottest trends – mainly […]

The Intersection of IoT and Robotics: Transforming Industries and Workforce

iot in robotics The integration of IoT in robotics is not just about connecting devices; it’s about creating intelligent systems that can adapt and learn from their environment. These interconnected robotic softwares can optimize processes, predict maintenance needs, and enhance decision-making capabilities by harnessing the power of real-time data exchange and advanced AI algorithms.

From smart factories where robots collaborate with humans to optimize production lines, to autonomous vehicles navigating city streets, the possibilities are endless. As IoRT continues to advance, it promises to revolutionize industries, unlocking new levels of efficiency, safety, and innovation in the ever-evolving automation landscape. get […]

India stares at high youth unemployment as hiring in its behemoth IT sector slows

India stares at high youth unemployment as hiring in its behemoth IT sector slows

Employees work at the headquarters of security system developer Staqu Technologies in Gurugram, India. India is struggling to bring down youth unemployment as a fall in white-collar jobs in the IT sector has left many fresh graduates and young people unemployed.

As automation and artificial intelligence adoption picks up pace, many roles in IT are becoming redundant — a phenomenon that’s not restricted to India.

Data from recruitment firm Foundit showed that online hiring activity for both hardware and software IT plummeted by 18% last year from 2022. India is facing a youth unemployment problem as a decline […]

The Silent Shift: How AI Stealthily Reshapes Our Work And Future

Robotic Automation Replacing Humans as tecchnology and Human Job Loss as employees being replaced by … [+] In the shadows of the digital age, a quiet revolution unfolds, reshaping the landscape of work with every passing moment. Artificial intelligence (AI), once the fodder of science fiction and speculative thought, now infiltrates every facet of our professional lives, often in ways so subtle that its impact goes unnoticed until it’s too late. This silent shift sees AI not just complementing human efforts but outright replacing them, leaving a trail of obsolescence in its wake. Thus, let’s delve into the stark […]

Does technology replace more jobs than it creates?

A new major study into US census data since 1940 has quantified technology’s impact on job loss and creation – and what AI will do in the future.
