Honeywell CEO Darius Adamczyk said that artificial intelligence can help solve the shortage of skilled workers. He said in an interview at Davos, Switzerland: "The main problem our customers face is the shortage of skills, because the population in all mature markets is shrinking." "Companies need to do more with fewer people, or have less experienced people do higher-level work." Adamczyk said that Honeywell is using "physical AI" to help address this issue. The CEO said: "We are developing the ability to enhance people's skills." "The key here is that physical AI enhances existing labor - it does not automate the job, nor automate the job position, these are two concepts that we must discuss separately."
