Abstract

This research looks at the influence of Global Value Chains (GVCs) and the growth of digital labor, especially with industrial and technological developments. With increased application of digital technology making it easier to run businesses still on the increase, the incorporation of artificial intelligence (AI) and automation within GVCs has had a colossal influence on defining the future of work. The rise of digital labor from deep learning models like Residual Networks (ResNet) has transformed labor traditionally performed by human laborers, including processing data, making decisions, and quality checks. The study discusses how the technologies enhance supply chain performance, resilience, and sustainability and struggle with the challenges they pose in terms of job substitution, skills gap, and economic inequality. In a mixed-methods design that combines qualitative interviews with quantitative questionnaires, the study explores the implications of digital labor on the future of work, global competitiveness, and supply chain management.
