Why is it important?
This study addresses radical changes in the capacities of computational machines and the new relationships forming between humans and non-human entities in manufacturing environments and beyond. In short, it moves beyond tool metaphors to recognise the increasing intelligence and creative capabilities of globally connected cyber-physical systems.
Perspectives
This study incorporated cutting-edge research from multiple disciplines including technology studies, education, computer engineering and intelligent manufacturing. It is written in non-technical language to address a mixed audience of academics, educators, human resource professionals, and policymakers interested in preparing people for the future of lifetime learning and reskilling.
