Here is a new example of the AI trend that has the potential to revolutionize manufacturing and energy production.  The first step is to enhance human decision making with AI capabilities:

“Right now the A.I. is just making recommendations,” says Brezler. “Instead of a whole team trying to figure out what went wrong, the first recommendation will come from the A.I.”

But that wont last long.  As you can read:

“At some point the A.I. will know what is needed and order parts ahead of time. It can be a self-healing system for operations and maintenance.”

But here’s the most striking sentence of the article for me:

“With nearly 20 years of performance data from remote monitoring of its gas turbines in the field, MHPS already has a large trove of data to feed its algorithm.”

Yes, they have the data to feed an AI algorithm…lots of data!  That is THE competitive advantage.
