Key findings
Generative artificial intelligence (GenAI) is set to impact, but not transform, the work of Quality Control Analysts.
Blue-collar jobs like this are unlikely to be automated by GenAI, as it cannot perform physical tasks.
The unique automation wave may even increase demand for blue-collar workers due to premium goods and services.
In the future, skills like Information Ordering and Digital Data Processing could be automated, but tasks requiring critical thinking and judgment will likely remain in the hands of human analysts.
How could AI or automation replace or complement job activities?
Artificial intelligence, automation, or LLMs like ChatGPT could assist Quality Control Analysts in conducting routine and non-routine analyses, interpreting test results, and identifying quality problems.
They could automate data capture, trend analyses, and method evaluations.
For example, AI could streamline the process of reviewing data from contract laboratories for accuracy and compliance.
Job description
Conducting tests to check the quality of raw materials, bulk intermediate, and finished products. May also perform stability sample tests.
