The future of manufacturing: How Schneider and Microsoft are partnering to address the opportunities and challenges of artificial intelligence - Schneider Electric Blog

History teaches us that when you're in the middle of sweeping technology-driven change, the struggle to simply keep pace can make it hard to maintain perspective. This is the situation we find ourselves in now, with the rapid emergence of artificial intelligence (AI). Suddenly there's great urgency to explore how businesses and society can realize the benefits of AI while simultaneously grappling with the wide range of issues it has raised--issues like the future of employment and how we can preserve individual privacy and protect public safety.

This is something that is probably a little easier to do at a company like Schneider Electric.
