Abstract deadline: April 1, 2020
The face of automation is changing. Wi th the integration of technologies such as AI, ML, NLP, and RPA, business processes are being automated and optimized across the enterprise, and employees are being liberated of repetitive tasks to perform higher-level work.
But while intelligent automation is promising from a competitive advantage viewpoint, its implications include the possibility of employee displacement, workforce transition challenges, security risks, ethical and regulatory issues.
An upcoming issue of Cutter Business Technology Journal with Guest Editor San Murugesan
http://www.cutter.com/experts/san-murugesan
will examine this new face of automation. This includes the benefits and opportunities as well as the challenges, disruptions, and the impact on businesses, the job landscape, and society.
We invite insights and perspectives from practitioners, academics, consultants, visionaries and industry experts.
Article ideas may include (but are not limited to) the following:
How are smart automation, autonomous systems, and RPA being used in domains such as business, finance, manufacturing, smart factories, healthcare, supply chain, tourism, hospitality, and defense? How will automation shape these domains in the future? What new applications and innovations might emerge?
How can two or more such systems work together collaboratively? What are some examples of typical use cases?
What are the promises and potential of cobots (collaborative robots), and what new challenges will they pose?
What do IT leaders need to do to prepare their businesses/employees for a transition to an advanced automation environment?
How can an advanced automation system and a human interact and work together successfully?
How can we implement ‘adjustable autonomy' which requires the transfer of decision-making control to other entities (typically an automation system transferring control to a human operator or vice versa)?
How can automation embrace AI, ML, IoT, GPS data, cloud, robots and smart materials?
What type of enterprise automation strategy is necessary to accommodate new technology advances?
Trust is a critical factor in adoption of advanced automation practices. How can we establish trustworthiness?
How might cyberattacks affect safety, reliability, and operations of an autonomous automation system?
What are the major concerns and threats of emerging automation?
How might new kinds of automation impact a skilled workforce? What types of retraining, reskilling will be necessary? What about job displacement?
What types of cultural transitioning/training is needed to get workers on board/up-to-speed?
What new opportunities will arise now, and in the near future, for the IT industry and technology professionals?
What are moral/ethical obligations and responsibilities of developers and adopters of advanced automation?
Do automation technologies and applications need be regulated, and if so by whom?
