Machine learning and AI are a solution to help manufacturers deal with an ageing workforce and the lack of professional talents. AI-powered machines could open doors for faster and more precise manufacturing, thereby reducing production costs and development time. While AI could solve a workforce problem, it could also make equipment and construction more intuitive and adjustable.

For instance, some companies are already experimenting with AI-operated wind turbines that adjust to weather conditions and can forecast weather and wind changes. It could improve not only work efficiency but also help with disaster management.
