Abstract

Industrialization of Artificial Intelligence (AI) raises several questions, inter alia, whether machines can gain work experience alike human workforce, whetherthe on-the-job obtained experiences may enrich existing knowledge, skills and abilities (KSCs) anduntimely lead to improve its productivity. If so, human- and machine workforce initiate a new competition in the era of intelligentization where not only AI-enhan-ced and smart machines reproduce human cognitive and physical capabilities, but also they may challenge the unique role of human as a learner. Despite economic, ethical and societal challenges, intelligenti-zation undergoes rapid changes in the manufacturingenterprises. This paper explores the linkage between gaining workforce experience and labor productivity in hybrid man-machine settings. The ultimate goal, partially addressed in this paper, is to anticipate the learning trajectory of human and machine workfor-ce and thus recommend the new division of labors and innovate new processes and products in smart factories.
