Impact of AI on this Job

AI and automation will increasingly assist and, in some cases, automate repetitive tasks in metal and plastic working, such as material handling, basic assembly, and quality inspection. Workers in this category will likely shift towards overseeing automated systems, performing maintenance, programming machines, and handling more complex, non-routine tasks requiring human dexterity and problem-solving skills. Continuous learning in new technologies will be crucial for adapting to these changes.
