There are levels or revolutions that have taken place in the field of manufacturing, and currently we are in the fourth industrial revolution or Industry 4.0. Industry 4.0 is possible because of Internet of Things (IoT), cyber-physical systems (CPS) and Internet of Systems which together interact and help build a smart factory. Automation and smart decision-making are key characteristics of this revolution. In the early stages of Industry 4.0, various applications of Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning (ML) enabling automation in the real world can be seen. Over the coming years, it is expected that the extent of automation will only increase and thus can replace repetitive jobs. The nature of job that a human does will most definitely change. In this era of industrialization, it is very important for humans to understand their role, where do they exactly stand in this industry automation for efficient working of the systems. This paper aims to reflect the role of human intelligence and experience in decision-making which cannot be fulfilled in this era of industrialization. The organizations and governments also have a huge role to play in this industry automation which has been stated in the paper for an in-depth understanding. Human-technology interactions are also explained in this paper to show how the combination of two enables a better working environment. In the end, a broader picture of the future is given in terms of industrial revolution and human involvement to equip the reader with an idea of the upcoming scenario and get a better understanding as a whole.
