Ford execs say they made a mistake when they replaced human engineers with AI
Ford executives publicly admitted that replacing experienced engineers with AI over the past three years was a mistake, leading to the rehiring of about 350 seasoned engineers to mentor juniors and fix failing AI systems.
Ford recently announced that over the last three years, it's had to rehire about 350 "gray beard" engineers to mentor younger staff and reprogram diagnostic systems and AI tools that were failing to meet up to quality expectations.
