Rethinking AI: Manufacturers Realize They’re Not Ready

A recent survey finds growing frustration that AI isn’t be implemented fast enough across a range of industries. Every industry has its own story to tell with artificial intelligence. For retailers, it means greater insights into customer service. For transportation companies, it means autonomous vehicles. For healthcare providers, it means more rapid and precise diagnostics. A recent survey of 751 executives, released by KPMG, even finds growing frustration that AI isn’t be implemented fast enough across a range of industries. Majorities of executives in technology, retail, financial services, healthcare, and transportation companies are moving forward with AI and seem pleased with the results being delivered. The KPMG inexplicably left out the manufacturing sector, which is perhaps the largest consumer of AI technology. And it appears many manufacturers are retrenching or reconsidering the direction of their AI investments.
