Key findings
Generative artificial intelligence (GenAI) will not overhaul blue-collar jobs like Crane and Tower Operators.
The unique automation wave may even increase demand for these workers due to the rise in premium goods and services.
GenAI lacks the ability to perform physical tasks, safeguarding blue-collar workers.
However, in the future, skills like Information Ordering and Digital Data Processing could be automated.
Despite this, the core tasks of Crane and Tower Operators, such as Operations Monitoring and Judgment Making, will likely remain untouched by automation.
How could AI or automation replace or complement job activities?
AI and automation could assist crane operators by analyzing load weights, ensuring they do not exceed lifting capacities to prevent overload.
They could also automate the operation of cranes and other equipment, inspect mechanisms for malfunctions, and schedule deliveries efficiently.
However, the physical tasks of operating equipment and performing maintenance may still require human intervention.
For example, AI could help crane operators by suggesting optimal loading sequences based on weight capacities and delivery schedules.
Job description
Operates equipment to lift and move materials in various directions using mechanical boom and cable or tower and cable systems.
