    Classification evidence

    • Relevance class: AI-related precursor · European Centre for the Development of Vocational Training · PDF p.2, Job substitution, creation and transformation; pp.3-4, skills implications and policy response — The briefing examines employment and skills consequences of robotics performing non-routine cognitive work and self-driving vehicles, then develops workforce adaptation and training responses. This is a substantive intelligent-robotics/autonomous-systems precursor, while the wider digital-skills discussion alone would not meet the boundary.
    • Sector tags: Employment and labour · European Centre for the Development of Vocational Training · PDF p.2, Job substitution, creation and transformation; pp.3-4, skills implications and policy response — The briefing examines employment and skills consequences of robotics performing non-routine cognitive work and self-driving vehicles, then develops workforce adaptation and training responses. This is a substantive intelligent-robotics/autonomous-systems precursor, while the wider digital-skills discussion alone would not meet the boundary.
    • Provenance tags: Authored by an EU agency or body · Publications Office of the European Union · OP catalogue, Corporate author(s): Cedefop — Publications Office explicitly credits Cedefop as corporate author; the PDF p.4 carries its institutional imprint.
    • Provenance tags: Officially published · European Centre for the Development of Vocational Training · Downloads: English DOI 10.2801/057353, ISBN 978-92-896-2316-2, dated 31/07/2017 — Dated official publication and English report availability are evidenced.

    Research assessment

    Inclusion rationale
    The briefing examines employment and skills consequences of robotics performing non-routine cognitive work and self-driving vehicles, then develops workforce adaptation and training responses. This is a substantive intelligent-robotics/autonomous-systems precursor, while the wider digital-skills discussion alone would not meet the boundary.
    Researcher notes
    The PDF masthead supplies July 2017 only. Cedefop's English download entry independently dates this manifestation to 31 July 2017, supporting a historical publication fallback. The later OP catalogue release of 6 March 2018 does not create a contemporary duplicate. PDF software metadata naming an editor and an August creation timestamp is not treated as bibliographic author or issue-date evidence. Personal bibliographic authors are not credited in the report.

Official catalogue was inspected through the web retrieval tool; original local HTML requests returned a challenge and are not passed off as catalogue captures. The dated extraction is retained.
    • Last verified: 2026-09-06T22:54:09Z · Actual official English PDF bytes captured and validated, with SHA-256 in the document snapshot. Identity, credits, dates and substantive passages inspected: PDF p.4 institutional imprint and OP corporate-author field; PDF p.2, Job substitution, creation and transformation; pp.3-4, skills implications and policy response. Source bytes and receipts retained in the external evidence audit; archived_path is null because no PDF is proposed for repository retention.
    • Last verified: 2026-09-06T22:54:09Z · Retained official catalogue HTML identifies Cedefop as corporate author and this DOI/ISBN. Its separate catalogue release is 2018-03-06, later than the Cedefop English manifestation dated 2017-07-31; no separate document is created.
