<p>Industrial transformation is occurring now; the world is in the era of rapid industry movement into a collaborative robot (Cobot), empowering the human workforce, improving the project management processes, and optimizing manufacturing and supply chain procedures by utilizing the supercomputer and Generative Artificial Intelligence (GenAI) capability.

Industry 5.0 carries more societal responsibility for human-centric matters while maintaining economic growth objectives, complementing the current Industry 4.0 and together creating what is called the “Techno-Social Revolution.” The role of GenAI is positive in project management and would generate tremendous benefits to project managers, especially in large data analysis, decision-making, and automation of processes, yet GenAI is probably faced with many legal arguments against its deployment.
