In the face of a skills shortage, the manufacturing industry has issued a call to action toeducate and recruit更多的工程师,程序员,设备运营商和技术人员。我们中间的千禧一代可能会被这样的头衔关闭,但他们可能有兴趣培训成为“数据侦探”,“道德采购官”或“边缘计算大师”。这些只是在机器人跨越企业和装配线的方式之后将出现的一些新工作,正如本月Cognizant的《未来工作中心》的报告中概述的那样。
机器人技术, automation and artificial intelligence (AI) are seen in both a good and bad light. While these technologies are making our lives easier, they are also taking our jobs. Or are they? In fact, it is the very technology that we may be resisting—for fear of losing jobs—that will create new opportunities going forward.
Cognizant指出,有一些基本原则可以理解工作的未来。首先,我们的工作一直在改变。您在城市街道上看到多少个灯塔?您上次拿起电话并听到总机操作员是什么时候?而且,这些天的银行出纳员更少。但是,尽管其中一些角色已经过时,但其他角色已经发展(现在是Lamplighter是电工)。这意味着我们不应该抗拒变化。毕竟,机器人将使我们摆脱许多沉闷,肮脏或危险的工作。
而且,我们必须记住:机器需要人。该报告指出:“机器可以做更多的事情,但总有更多的事情要做。”为此,人类的创造力是我们最大的品质之一,在智能机器时代,我们将继续探索以创造新的作品。
In August,Aaron Hand wrote about a new workforce analysisfrom UI Labs and ManpowerGroup that identifies 165 future data-centric careers that will help shape the next-generation of manufacturing in the U.S. Collaborative robotics specialist, manufacturing cybersecurity strategist, enterprise digital ethicist, are some of the jobs that will make up the digital workforce.
该认知报告揭示了由于技术进步,未来10年将存在的另一组工作类别。并非认识概述的21个新工作都会影响制造商。例如,“个人记忆策展人”的作用是为了帮助他们应对更长的预期寿命。这项工作需要生成规格,以在一段时间,一个地方或事件中创建虚拟现实体验,从而使我们的老龄化记忆保持活力和良好。
But a data detective will be investigating the mysteries of Big Data, uncovering secrets within the content by examining sensors, devices, fog computing and neural networks. And data scientists need not apply, as a job like this just requires curiosity and attention to detail with the ability to follow a lead and go where the data is.
另一个称为“人机团队经理”的角色将确定可以通过新近可用的技术升级的任务,流程,系统和经验,同时对新方法,技能,互动和结构进行想象。该作业将定义角色和职责,并为机器和工人如何协调完成任务的规则。或者,作为“边缘计算大师”,一个人将监督基础架构的大修,以确保新技术与旧系统无缝互动。
提高公司阶梯可能意味着晋升为“道德采购官”,他们检查供应链中每个合同的道德完整性,并创建实时体验以测试和审查跟踪和跟踪数据的能力。然后是“遗传多样性官员”,他确保平等管理以外的种族,性别或性取向,以整合一支可能包括与没有基因的人一起增强的人。
And this is just the beginning. Looking further out on the horizon we’ll see carbon farmers, avatar designers, cryptocurrency arbitrageurs, drone jockeys, and even robot spa owners and, yes, Snapchat addiction therapists. Looks like there will be plenty of jobs to fill in the future.
