The gig economy has created jobs we never would have imagined.  This offered those in “boring, low skill” jobs an opportunity to earn a living while enjoying a better quality of life.  Fortunately, AI is stepping in to fill the empty seats these workers once occupied.  Manufacturing is a great example of this activity.  Production lines once required humans to review products for defects – a quite mundane task.  Today, the power of AI and machine vision enable a software driven approach.  Neurala is a startup integrating AI-based software into cameras to support vision inspection.

 

In this episode, I sit with Max Versace, Co-Founder and CEO of Neurala.  We discuss his move from Italy to the US to work on projects supported by DARPA and NASA, shortage of demand for jobs in manufacturing, how machines can catch product issues undetectable to humans, and much much more.
