Systematic literature review on the evolution of human-machine collaboration in the workplace

The inclusion of advanced technology within workplaces has significantly transformed human-machine collaboration. From the initial stage of industrial automation to the modern artificial intelligence-based decision-making process, business organizations have depended heavily on machines to improve their accuracy, efficiency, and productivity. Human-machine collaboration has extended beyond basic automation, facilitating synergy where human and intelligent tools work together to perform complex tasks. The rapid development of artificial intelligence, machine learning and robotics has redefined job responsibilities and has reshaped workforce dynamics. It has been observed that though technology promises to provide efficiency gains, it has also pointed out specific concerns regarding ethical considerations, the evolving nature of the work environment and job displacement.
