NOTABLE QUOTE
"One executive frankly told me that artificial intelligence is a buzzword, a topic without a foundation. And I think there are two reasons for drawing this conclusion. First is that manufacturers in the space occupied by IMTS exhibitors and attendees have been gathering data on this scale for decades. They know what they mean when they discuss big data, and they do not grasp the new significance of artificial intelligence. My theory on that is that the work of manufacturing is not really about answering questions. That is, not answering questions based on prompts. It's about solving problems based on conditions and variables. In short, the proponents of AI and manufacturing at the present moment do not seem to be proposing anything that manufacturers do not already have in use." — Robert Brooks, editor-in-chief, American Machinist & Foundry Management & Technology
