Introduction

For all of the hype and fear about ChatGPT and Google's Gemini, manufacturers say they're not really using generative AI, says IndustryWeek Senior Editor for Technology Dennis Scimeca. They're using all sorts of AI from machine learning to quality control systems, but few seem to be asking chatbots to write machine code in the style of Kenny Rogers. 

Scimeca and IndustryWeek Editor-in-Chief Robert Schoenberger discuss attitudes toward technology from the latest IW Technology Survey, a report that also found that manufacturers might be using IIoT, but they don't really identify with the term anymore.
