Technical Summary
Human-centric manufacturing is an approach that leverages advanced digital technologies, while fully engaging humans in the decision making and operations where they are most needed and uniquely capable. The research focuses on exploring the human aspects of team adoption of artificial intelligence (AI) within organisational settings. Specifically, the project aims to provide insights into how AI affects team performance, behaviours, and autonomy. The study aims to identify best practices for the effective adoption of AI in manufacturing environments with the potential to inform policy decisions in the area.
