Abstract
The industrial revolution and business development during the mid-nineteen centuries have been traced to Information Technology (IT). However, the productivity effects of traditional types of Information Technology were exhausted by the mid-twenty century (Fernald, 2015). Today, the impacts of artificial intelligence and robotic engineering on the future economy and society are attracting attention, and many academic arguments have come up vis-a-vis the possible effects of artificial intelligence on workforce development. In particular, the substitution of human labour by artificial intelligence and machines is strongly debated. Some claim that a substantial share of employment is at risk, while others argue that computers and robots will lead to product innovations and hence to unimaginable new occupations. Artificial intelligence according to Stuart and Peter (2009) is a branch of computer science that attempts to understand the significance of intelligence and produce a new intelligent machine that reacts in a way comparable to human intelligence. United Nations Educational, Scientific, and Cultural Organisation (UNESCO, 2019) emphasised that Artificial Intelligence is a successful technological field capable of altering every aspect of our social interactions. In Technical Vocational Education and Training, Artificial Intelligence has begun producing new teaching and learning solutions that are now undergoing testing in different contexts.
