Prioritization and precision: How artificial intelligence and design thinking will transform technology production is an Economist Intelligence Unit report that explores the impact of various innovations on product design and production operations in the technology industry.
SMU Professor of Operations Management Shantanu Bhattacharya and MIT Professor of Engineering Systems David Simchi-Levi provide additional insights to the report written by Denis McCauley. According to Prof Bhattacharya, the power of artificial intelligence rests on its ability to crunch enormous volumes of historical and current data, identifying patterns through data analysis, prescribing actions, as well as to initiate follow-up actions.
