AI, Jobs & Automation – Who Wins, Who Loses, and What’s Next?
Conference at EMO Hannover – 25 September, 11:00-12:00 (CET)
About the Conference
Special session at EMO Hannover 2025, organise by EARASHI, JARVIS and CECIMO.
The manufacturing world is evolving faster than ever. As artificial intelligence, automation, and robotics rapidly redefine the industrial landscape, critical questions emerge:
-
What happens to the human workforce?
-
Who stands to benefit—and who risks being left behind?
-
How can industries, workers, and governments adapt to stay ahead?
This special session—“AI, Jobs & Automation – Who Wins, Who Loses, and What’s Next?”—brings together leading voices at the intersection of technology, industry, and policy to unpack these questions. Organized by two cutting-edge European initiatives—EARASHI and JARVIS—this event explores the implications of AI-driven transformation in manufacturing and what it means for workers, businesses, and society.
