When prompted with the question, what do you hope others will gain from your research? Khalid answered, “I can say that my research has the potential to provide several important benefits to others: Insights into the relationship between humans and machines in the context of automation, including the role of trust, the continuing role of humans, the impacted labor market, newly generated job-related skills.” Followed up with, what do you wish your research will accomplish?

After all his hard work collecting data and researching, Khalid would also like to thank Dr. Ismet Anitsal and Dr. M.
