Pradip Singh, chief manufacturing officer at semiconductor manufacturer GlobalFoundries, has seen it all when it comes to AI. Well, he would see it all if there wasn’t so much AI thrown at him that he needs people to weed through the slop and get to the good stuff – and even only a few “good” AI pitches ever get through.

That’s because AI developers don’t understand manufacturing. They don’t grasp the unique challenges of what AI might actually do for industry and instead focus on developing AI seemingly for its own sake.

In this episode of Great Question, Singh speaks with IndustryWeek senior editor for technology, Dennis Scimeca, about AI boondoggles, what the technology should never be used for and the words to listen to during an AI pitch that means the tech is worth considering.
