The sheet metal work manufacturing industry has a high potential for AI displacement due to the standardized and repetitive nature of many tasks involved. While regulatory and capital requirements pose some barriers, the industry's increasing data intensity, moderate workforce flexibility, and growing adaptability suggest a robust potential for AI integration. These factors collectively indicate a substantial risk of AI displacement.
