The rapid adoption of automated and autonomous technologies that will displace many manufacturing tasks currently performed by workers will also dramatically increase the demand for skilled workers for the new jobs created produced by the expected growth of the robotics, artificial intelligence, and additive manufacturing industries.
As a leading educational institution whose faculty have a deep knowledge of these technologies and their ability to contribute to economic prosperity, Carnegie Mellon researchers are committed to uncovering causes for the relatively low pipeline of workers training for high-paying manufacturing jobs; identifying future career pathways and skill-sets for new manufacturing jobs; and assessing the impact of the adoption of advanced manufacturing technologies on workforce diversity, equity, and inclusion.
