Asteri’s Approach to AI Job Displacement: Taking Control of the Workforce Skills

Published

on

AI’s rapid advancement is expected to replace millions of jobs globally in the next five years and drive the skill acquisition velocity to unprecedented levels. Asteri’s CEO, Julia Grace Samoylenko, emphasizes the need for balanced AI integration and upskilling and reskilling to navigate these changes successfully. She advocates for the ethical deployment of this revolution and highlights that it begins with the fundamental problem of understanding and actively measuring workforce skills, which is still addressed using antiquated approaches.

PALO ALTO, Calif. , June 25, 2024 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ —  According to the National Fund for Workforce Solutions, AI is set to replace 75 million jobs globally by 2025. (1) Due to this phenomenon, concerns are being raised worldwide, and the US is no exception. A survey reveals that 60% of American workers feel unprepared for these advancements, and 35% fear job loss. (2) Julia Grace Samoylenko, founder and CEO of Asteri—the technology company behind Asteri.Mind, the AI technology specifically built for capturing and managing evolving skill sets within enterprise workforces—acknowledges the challenges of this revolution and emphasizes, “The main risk comes from thinking AI will answer all questions. Companies need to understand that just adding these tools alone will not be a recipe for success.”

“The main risk comes from thinking AI will answer all questions. Companies need to understand that just adding these tools alone will not be a recipe for success. It’s crucial to integrate AI responsibly, alongside robust upskilling initiatives.” – Julia Grace Samoylenko

The paradigm is already shifting. It’s estimated that 14% of workers globally have experienced job displacement due to AI, (3) and 50% of companies have implemented AI technologies. (4) Samoylenko underscores the necessity of understanding this technology to plan for upcoming challenges: “There are ethical concerns for AI. The private sector needs to take active steps to move their workforce to the new reality and help acquire new AI-centric skills, leveraging the technology advancements to boost productivity and efficiency.”

This sets an unprecedented challenge for both employees and businesses. It’s estimated that within the next three years, the retraining of 120 million workers will be necessary. (4) Samoylenko’s vision for Asteri aligns with the World Economic Forum’s call for reskilling half the global workforce by 2025, (5) positioning Asteri as a leader in the skills-centric talent revolution.

Crisis Can Also Mean Opportunity
Paradigmatically, it is also estimated that AI will create 133 million new jobs, leading to a net gain of 58 million jobs; the healthcare, education, and public sectors are projected to see significant job growth due to this. (1) Workers, however, need to step up their game and many are conscious about it: 40 believe they need upskilling to handle AI effectively. (5)

The key to success for companies in this evolving landscape is the reskilling of their workforce. Samoylenko explains, “Paying for the benefits of AI requires a workforce that can utilize AI and other emerging skills and technologies to the fullest. In many cases, there are not enough experts in the workforce where you can just hire who you need. Instead, you need to build the workforce of the future with much of the talent you already have. This results in significant productivity gains and less downtime due to layoffs.”

“If AI and automation can free up the workforce, enable them to be more productive, and create space to reskill and upskill them, then part of the initial investment to adopt these new technologies gets covered”, she highlights. Samoylenko also points out that ethical concerns for AI should be addressed and warns especially about the dangers of automation decisions without human oversight: “AI is not best suited to replace humans but is perfectly suited to digest large amounts of data and be a tool for learning and decision-making”.

The Answer Lays Within AI-Revolution
With the rapid advancement of technology, equipping employees with the new knowledge they need to face this world is essential to keep them relevant and competitive in the evolving job market. Comprehensive upskilling and reskilling initiatives help employees transition to roles less susceptible to automation, enhancing their productivity and leveraging AI to their advantage. Thus, educating employees about AI alleviates fears and negative sentiments, fostering a more inclusive and informed workforce.

Accelerating skills acquisition, triggered by AI, means learning new skills takes weeks or even days now, versus years less than a decade ago. That’s why businesses need to completely transform how they evaluate and develop their workforce skills. Traditional skill assessment methods—like assessment centers, manual input, surveys, and consulting—present limitations due to resource intensity, incompleteness, and data quality concerns. This is where innovative approaches like those developed by Asteri come into play. Asteri’s AI-driven skills classification, extraction, and inference continuously identify actively practiced skills, existing skill gaps, and forecast future skill demands, enabling targeted training initiatives that align with the evolving job market.

In this new era, old methods have become slow and biased. The new solutions start with understanding how skills evolve, and with “evidence-based” continuous skill assessment that requires AI to infer skills and proficiency levels. AI can also introduce transparency into skill assessments, effectively mitigating biases. By standardizing evaluation criteria and leveraging data-driven insights, it ensures fair and impartial assessments. Asteri’s approach to using AI for skill assessment promotes equitable career growth and development based on genuine abilities, bypassing biases often associated with traditional methods. This levels the playing field, ensuring employees are evaluated on their true skills, not managerial biases.

Addressing existing inequalities through a transparent AI assessment system ensures all employees are measured uniformly, without human prejudices. “This fast-ever evolving landscape calls for an innovative approach to workforce management not only addresses current challenges but also positions companies to thrive in the AI-driven future”, Samoylenko concludes.

Bambu Lab Launches PLA Pure: A Filament Made for Printing Where You Live

Published

on

By

AUSTIN, Texas, June 15, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — As desktop 3D printers become a fixture in homes around the world, Bambu Lab – one of the fastest-growing companies in the consumer 3D printing space – is raising the bar on what a home printing filament should be. Today, Bambu Lab announced the launch of PLA Pure, a filament engineered for cleaner, safer home 3D printing, with every ingredient certified compliant with EU 10/2011, the European regulation governing plastics intended for food contact.

Five Ingredients. Each One Earned Its Place.

PLA Pure draws on materials you encounter in everyday life:

Polylactic acid (PLA) – derived from corn and sugarcane.Acrylic copolymer – commonly found in children’s toys.Color pigments – also used in baby tableware.EBS (ethylene bis-stearamide) – familiar from food packaging films.Talc – used in products such as biodegradable drinking straws; independently tested by a third party and verified asbestos-free.

Every ingredient appears on the EU 10/2011 positive list with a traceable FCM (Food Contact Material) substance number. Raw materials are supplied by global manufacturers including TotalEnergies Corbion, Dow, Chemours, and BASF, making compliance and traceability straightforward.

Most filaments marketed as food-contact compliant are tested only as finished products. PLA Pure is verified ingredient by ingredient, from the base material to the pigments.

Cleaner Air at Your Desk

Since printing often happens in living spaces, emissions matter. PLA Pure carries UL 2904 GREENGUARD certification*, the recognized standard for 3D printer emissions that measures particulate matter and Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs) for indoor air quality impact.

Particle and VOC levels during printing fall below what’s typically present in an average kitchen, living room, or office.In a four-hour continuous printing test conducted by an accredited laboratory, PLA Pure produced lower PM2.5 and PM10 emissions than a comparable filament under identical conditions.Proper ventilation is still recommended to minimize inhalation of any printing byproducts.

Bambu Lab’s PLA Basic also holds indoor air quality certification under the same standard, but PLA Pure’s cleaner ingredient profile yields even lower emission levels-particularly relevant when printing near children, pets, or in shared living spaces.

*Testing was conducted on Bambu Lab A1 and A2L printers, both open-deck models without enclosure or filtration. This setup represents the baseline emission scenario, where filament emissions are measured directly without any additional containment.

Safety Is One Thing. Reliability Is Another.

Most filaments rely on impact modifiers and flow agents to achieve consistent print results. PLA Pure takes a different approach: to keep the formula to five food-safe ingredients, Bambu Lab rebuilt the formulation from scratch—iterating until the chemistry alone could deliver what additives typically do. The result is less residue, reduced nozzle buildup, and more consistent extrusion spool after spool.

Less stringing — even without prior drying, PLA Pure produces noticeably fewer strings than typical third-party filaments.Cleaner surfaces — finished parts require less post-processing.Strength intact — PLA Pure matches PLA Basic in mechanical performance, with layer adhesion comparable to most PLA materials on the market.

All printing parameters are stored in the RFID tag and automatically read by the AMS system. Load the spool, let the material synchronize itself, and start printing. No guesswork required.

Toy Safety

The material has also passed EN 71-3 certification, the European safety standard that governs the migration of certain elements from toy materials. The standard’s main concern is whether potentially harmful elements-such as lead, cadmium, chromium, and other heavy metals-can leach out of a material when a child handles, mouths, or swallows it. It also sets strict limits on the permissible migration of each.

Passing this test makes the material suitable for models meant to be handled and played with: a toy kitchen plate, a small car, a cat toy.

As with any 3D-printed toy, common sense still applies. Small parts and support structures can pose a choking hazard, edges may be sharp, and the material is combustible. Models should be selected appropriately, and children should be supervised during play.

A Note on Application

These certifications apply to the filament itself and its ingredients. Whether a specific printed object is suitable for a particular application depends on factors such as equipment hygiene (especially nozzle cleanliness), printing conditions, and how the object is ultimately used. Because of the layered structure of FFF prints, they are not suitable for liquid foods, and PLA itself should not be exposed to temperatures above 60°C (like putting 3D prints into dishwashers). Bambu Lab recommends that users consider these factors when selecting a material for a specific application. PLA Pure provides a fully documented ingredient profile-the rest of the decisions are yours to make with confidence.

Availability

PLA Pure is available now at Bambu Lab Official Store

Price: USD 24.99 (With Spool)/ USD 21.99 (Refill)

Additional details regarding availability, colors, and variants will be announced separately.
