AI that augments — not replaces — your workforce: practical steps for manufacturers starting today.

In this episode, Murali Sastry, learning and AI strategist, shares a grounded framework for AI adoption in manufacturing that keeps humans in the loop. We cover:

- What vibe coding is and how frontline workers are using it to build dashboards without IT

- Learning in the flow of work: low-risk AI augmentation use cases with real examples

- Why human-in-the-loop governance is non-negotiable in manufacturing environments

- The risks of shadow IT, data ownership, and where AI should never be used on the floor

- Practical steps manufacturers can take tomorrow to build AI capability safely

Whether you're an operations manager, plant engineer, or digital transformation lead, this episode gives you a human-centred approach to manufacturing AI adoption.
