Human-Centered AI in Manufacturing
We've spent 100 years teaching humans to think like machines: precise, repeatable, and efficient.
Now the machines have learned. So what are humans actually for?
This is the most interesting question in manufacturing AI right now.
The future factory is not about replacing operators and engineers, it is about elevating them. Human-Centered AI in Manufacturing is where this conversation starts.
Sangati Seth, Senior Director of Engineering at Cummins, will explore how Engineering and Manufacturing leaders can use AI to drive productivity, efficiency, and resilience while preserving human expertise.
Her talk will focus on concrete examples and scenarios, including Predictive Maintenance, Improved Root-cause Analysis, and Domain-Specific AI Agents
Key themes include:
Where AI creates the most value in manufacturing today
How leaders can adopt AI without eroding trust or institutional knowledge
Reduce burden on Subject Matter Experts by integrating Domain-Specific AI agents
Common pitfalls leaders encounter when introducing AI on the factory floor
If you’re leading in engineering, operations, or manufacturing (or you serve clients who are), this is one of those sessions that will give you both clarity and usable takeaways.
