Key findings
Generative artificial intelligence (GenAI) is set to impact, but not transform, the work of cleaners of vehicles and equipment.
Blue-collar jobs like this are unlikely to be automated by GenAI due to the physical nature of the tasks involved.
However, as demand for premium goods and services increases, there may be a rise in the need for these workers, potentially leading to a higher income share.
While some skills used in this job, such as Quality Control Analysis, could be automated in the future, the hands-on tasks of operation and control are likely to remain in the hands of human workers.
How could AI or automation replace or complement job activities?
AI, automation, or LLMs like Chatgpt could enhance efficiency in the tasks performed by vehicle and equipment cleaners.
They could streamline processes such as mixing cleaning solutions, monitoring machine operations, and maintaining inventories.
However, the human touch is irreplaceable in activities like applying paints, inspecting for damage, or performing minor repairs.
For instance, AI could assist in inventory management, but a human touch is essential in applying delicate polishes to preserve vehicle color and condition.
Job description
