Human and Machine – Together or Against Each Other?
Artificial intelligence (AI) and robotics are no longer just promises of the future — they are already fundamentally reshaping manufacturing. From the automotive industry to logistics, these technologies are increasingly present and taking over tasks once performed exclusively by humans. But where do we draw the line between human and machine, and what opportunities and risks does AI introduce into the world of manufacturing? These are the questions discussed by Daniel and Krisztián (Dr. Dániel Necz LL.M. (Harvard) and Dr. Krisztián Bölcskei) in the latest podcast episode.
If you’re interested in how AI is transforming manufacturing, engineering, and logistics, this episode is for you.
