Jobs on the Edge is a Skimmy Stories series exploring the roles most at risk of being replaced by AI — and the human value that remains when machines take over.
In “Warehouse Workers on the Line,” robotic arms, AI carts, and drones take over the endless picking and packing that once drove millions of human shifts. The warehouses don’t close — but they stop being workplaces designed for people. Humans remain only as backup for the machines.
