Peggy explores how AI (artificial intelligence)-powered robotics could reshape the future of skilled work by looking at a new AI welding agent. Peggy uses this example to examine a broader shift in automation: robots are no longer simply performing repetitive physical tasks—they are beginning to interpret instructions, assist with programming and planning, and carry out increasingly complex work. She argues that this raises important questions about how employers, workers, and unions prepare for a future in which humans and machines work more closely together.
She also discusses:
· How this could change the skills workers need tomorrow.
· How the gap is being bridged between human instructions and physical action.
· How we can learn from earlier examples of robotics, such as SAM the bricklaying robot.
· How employers, workers, and unions can work together to train people for new roles and ensure workers with valuable skills are included in the transition.
· Why it is important to remember the future of work is about how humans and machines can work together.
