Ford claims to have brought back a few human engineers after AI was unable to match their expertise. The US automaker implemented the technology in several areas of its operations, including quality inspections, in an attempt to profit from its potential to reduce expenses and increase efficiency.
However, in order to compensate for the drawbacks of automated methods, the company has rehired more than 300 “veteran” quality inspectors, according to Bloomberg. Charles Poon, vice president of vehicle hardware engineering, told reporters that while artificial intelligence is a great tool, it is only as good as the data you use to train it.
We didn’t give the experience of our most experienced engineers, who have worked with us through numerous product cycles, as much consideration as we should have in previous years,” he stated.
The US manufacturer is one of many that have capitalized on the excitement surrounding artificial intelligence, especially in light of Wall Street’s enthusiasm regarding the technology’s potential to boost profits.In an interview with author Walter Isaacson last June, Ford CEO Jim Farley stated that “AI will leave a lot of white-collar people behind.” Chief operating officer Kumar Galhotra stated that the company was “deploying AI across the entire industrial system” during an October earnings call.
