AI + Blue Collar Work: Will Automation Take Over Skilled Trades? - Julia McCoy, YouTube

The video discusses the impact of artificial intelligence (AI) and robotics on blue-collar jobs, also known as skilled trades and service-based work. Examples are given of how AI and robotics are already being used in blue-collar industries. For instance, robots are laying bricks, tractors are plowing fields autonomously, and there is an entirely automated restaurant called Cali Express in Pasadena California. The video concludes that humans will likely be in the loop in blue-collar work for quite some time. Even if robots are implemented, humans will still be needed for complex tasks, customer rapport, and overseeing the robots. (summary assisted by GenAI)
