The Future of Manufacturing Is a "Lights Out" Factory

The Future of Manufacturing Is a 'Lights Out' Factory. In this interview, Director of Industrial AI Bryan Debois describes the "panacea" for modern manufacturing: a "lights out" factory where raw materials enter and finished goods leave with very little human interaction, powered entirely by AI and autonomy. Bryan also discusses the current crisis facing US manufacturing, including a half-million-person labor shortfall and a wave of retiring Boomers taking critical knowledge with them, a situation he fears could lead to catastrophic failures like plant explosions. Finally, as an AI expert, he gives his blunt take on why ChatGPT is just an "auto-complete on steroids" that doesn't actually "understand anything." Check out the company: https://www.rovisys.com
