AI is moving faster than most industries can digest. According to data cited during a recent IIoT World session, AI capability is now doubling every 3.5 months—a 100x improvement in a single year. That’s not evolution; that’s exponential transformation. For industries like manufacturing and energy, the real question isn’t whether AI will shape the future, but […]
