Understanding AI in Manufacturing
Artificial intelligence in manufacturing is defined through two primary approaches: the neurobiological and cybernetic perspectives. The neurobiological viewpoint sees intelligence as a hierarchical network mimicking human cognitive functions like predicting and adapting to changes in the environment. In contrast, the cybernetic approach focuses on logic and knowledge representation, viewing intelligence as problem-solving correlated with domain knowledge. By understanding these frameworks, leaders can better assess how AI can enhance manufacturing processes by ensuring sustainable operations and adapting to environmental changes.
