Is AI going to take over manufacturing jobs?
With the rise of AI, there is growing concern about whether automation will replace manufacturing roles. By 2025, AI is estimated to replace around 85 million jobs, with about 2 million in manufacturing-related roles.
However, industries such as manufacturing are the least exposed to generative AI and will not be affected to the extent of other sectors, such as finance and legal service industries. Many businesses use AI to support existing manufacturing roles instead of replacing them.
