Re: AI to program
"our way is that repeat work is saved as programs, the machine tool is loaded with a part number, the robot is loaded with a program matching that part number, and away we go making bits (I've simplified the process a lot here )"
They are trying to dumb down the programming of the robots and off load the "learning" to cheap AI so employers can use cheap labour instead of very expensive engineers and programmers. When it goes wrong, there will be no one left who knows *why* it went wrong.
