If machine learning automates away low-skilled tasks, as some predict, it might not make working-class people obsolete, but it could make their existence miserable nonetheless.

PETALING JAYA: Employees should always find ways to upgrade their skills for the future should their jobs be taken over by robotics and automation, says Malaysian Employers Federation executive director Datuk Shamsuddin Bardan.

He said it was critical for employees to be multi-skilled and be open to changes to help improve their productivity.
