ABSTRACT
The recent automation trend across all production industry branches looks threatening to a lot of jobs, especially the mostly repetitive ones. To achieve a significant level of automation, and implicitly to stay competitive in tomorrow's market, every factory will eventually move to algorithmic management techniques, always-connected hardware and AI oversight. And since complete AI is not available yet, it will most likely take many human engineers to implement this transition from human labor to complete machine-only labor. This paper presents perspectives on finding, training and then recycling these engineers, to both be technically capable of getting the automation done, and also to understand the short-to-middle-term future in terms of job security and society changes. The paper ends with a rally together for everyone, to participate in the project of the XXIst century.
