Part 4: Where Human Meets Machine, AI’s Impact on the Data Center Workforce.
May 19, 2025

In Part 4 of our white paper series, we zoom in on how AI is transforming one of the most essential roles in data center operations: the Critical Environment Technician (CET).
As automation reshapes daily tasks, these technicians are evolving into AI-augmented specialists—focusing less on routine monitoring and more on strategic problem-solving, risk mitigation, and emergency response.
This installment explores how AI is redefining workforce expectations, the growing need for reskilling, and how organizations can adapt faster with the right talent strategy.
We also preview Kelly Telecom’s upcoming Future Skills Navigator—a tool designed to help businesses assess automation risk, map skill transitions, and future-proof their workforce across data centers, electric power, and cybersecurity.
