The Economist: Your Robot Assistant is Waiting (Upskilling for an automation-first world)

According to the World Economic Forum, automation will result in a net increase of 58 million jobs over the next few years. The world of work is entering into an automation-first era. To harness the potential of this moment though, every worker must have access to both automation tools and training.

By investing in software robots, organizations can provide their employees with the support they need so they don’t have to be robots. Automation enables workers to focus on the most meaningful aspects of their jobs—the reasons they pursue those jobs.

In other words, this support enables organizations to enhance productivity and increase employee satisfaction despite macro forces such as an aging workforce and talent shortages.

How do we train and upskill future generations who will work in an automation-first environment?
