Amazon offers peek at new human jobs in an AI bot world
- The tech industry envisions a future where bots will automate mundane tasks, creating new job opportunities for humans despite displacing some roles. Amazon's introduction of Vulcan robot hints at a future where warehouse workers collaborate with robots for tasks like picking items, while some workers are trained as robot technicians.

The company offers a retraining program for workers to acquire skills in robotic maintenance, indicating a shift in workforce training in an AI-powered environment.
- The transition to a fully automated workforce may not happen as rapidly as anticipated, with smaller companies still heavily relying on human labor. There is speculation that tasks like overseeing robots could become standardized job roles, similar to operating a PC, requiring a widespread skill set among workers.
