Assuring Sustainable Employment Through Smarter Automation – Part One
In part one of this series on smart automation, we explore the ways that AI, Machine Learning, smart automation, and the intelligent edge can be leveraged to increase productivity and drive job creation and employment sustainability by liberating workers to focus on high value tasks by taking over the low-value tasks that, until recently, monopolized much of their time. In this introduction, we outline some of the ways that smart automation can enhance a worker’s productivity and performance, which in most cases is preferable to replacing a human worker with automated solutions.
