New Digital work: Digital sovereignty at the workplace- Open access book published 2023 by Springer and edited by A. Shajek and E. A. Hartmann
There are 15 chapters in the book along with introductory
and closing chapters by the editors.
The book covers some of the perceived impacts of AI and
robotics on work along with other implications. There are case studies from
Europe, South Africa, Australia, East Asia, China and Mexico.
Topics range across not only AI and robotics, but also
‘smart’ production systems, human-machine interactions, designing and
capability building for digital work and neural networks.
Of note the following chapter:
-
AI and assistance system for TVET –
opportunities and risks https://link.springer.com/chapter/10.1007/978-3-031-26490-0_12
By L. Windelband, which is the entry into
the book as the chapter came up on my Scholar Alerts a few weeks back.
Discusses the man-machine-interface (M-M-I)
and how these could be – tools /assistance scenario; automation scenario (with
limited input from workers and devaluation of qualifications), and the hybrid
scenario where by there are new forms of monitoring and control of tasks,
leading to new requirements for skilled workers.
The challenges these 3 scenarios represent for TVET are discussed. Figure 1 summarises a framework to think how technologies, impact, use of digital and the process related actions, interfaces with the digital networked world of work. Presents the challenges and how AI for example may be used as information assistants, assistant systems or for learning assistance. Then the opportunities and risks are presented.
A book providing up-to-date discussions on the impact of the digital revolution on work, and in turn education. The importance of understanding and working with 'intelligent' agents cannot be under-estimated. Digital literacy/ AI literacy needs to recognise the complexities and issues as more intimate interfaces are required between humans and machines.
