Industrial AI Moves From Factory Pilots to Boardrooms

Industrial AI Moves From Factory Pilots to Boardrooms

Industrial companies in India are trying to use AI for more than running machines on factory floors.

They want it to help design products, manage supplies, predict demand and reduce costs.

Business leaders at a summit in Pune said AI projects should solve clear business problems.

They also said company leaders and boards must be involved in deciding how AI is used.

Some AI systems can now make recommendations or take actions within set limits.

This creates a question about who is responsible if an AI decision causes a problem.

Experts said companies need records, reliable data and rules built into AI systems from the beginning.

They also said connected computer systems and steady government policies can help AI projects grow.
