The essence of artificial intelligence + manufacturing is the pursuit of human-computer collaboration

Artificial intelligence, a type of information technology, was born in the 1950s and is almost synchronized with computers. For more than 60 years, there have been many technologies and factions involved in artificial intelligence, and there is no clear definition in the academic world. For most of the public, from the perspective of the development of artificial intelligence, it can be simply understood as “artificial machines that are as smart as humans.”

         Putting this clever “machine” into the manufacturing industry, the main role is to enable the machine to “reach or exceed the level of human technicians” to achieve the efficiency of the company’s production operations. This “intelligent” process of putting “artificial intelligence” is in fact fundamentally different from the process of pursuing “automation” in the past. “Automation” pursues the automatic production of machines, the essence is “machine replacement”, emphasizing large-scale machine production; and “intelligent” pursues the flexible production of machines, the essence is “human-machine synergy”, emphasizing that machines can be autonomous Cooperate with changes in factors and people’s work.

         Therefore, the pursuit of “artificial intelligence + manufacturing” in the future should not be simple and rude “machine replacement”, but should be the work of the workers who have been extremely refined or even alienated since the industrial revolution, and re-enter the “people-oriented” The organizational model is to let the machine take on more simple and even dangerous work, and people take on more management and creative work.
