Intrinsic CEO Stefan Nusser says conventional factory automation is too expensive and inflexible for most manufacturers — and AI-driven systems configurable by generalists are rewriting the economics.
45% of manufacturers have live IIoT connectivity; manufacturer interest in large language models jumped from 16% to 35% in one year. The three-technology convergence of AI, IoT, and robotics is now operational infrastructure, not a roadmap item.
NVIDIA's Omniverse platform is now powering factory digital twins and autonomous robotics at Foxconn, Toyota, TSMC, Caterpillar, and Lucid Motors — the most concrete test yet of physical AI in American manufacturing.
Generative AI is powering a new fraud: fake small business storefronts with AI-generated founder personas charging artisan premiums for factory goods.
A Washington Post analysis maps AI automation risk across the U.S. job market — and finds white-collar workers face steeper disruption than factory workers, with women comprising 86% of the most exposed segment.
Humanoid robot interest among manufacturers jumped from 8% to 13% year-over-year, while LLM adoption in factory settings nearly doubled to 35%. Physical AI is leaving the lab.
Siemens and NVIDIA are building what they call the world's first fully AI-driven industrial operating system — starting with Siemens' Erlangen factory — with plans to replicate the model globally.
Samsung Electronics committed at the board level to convert every global manufacturing facility to AI-driven operations by 2030 — a benchmark that analysts say will pressure major competitors to accelerate.
The 2026 Smart Factory Outlook finds LLM adoption in manufacturing surged from 16% to 35% in a single year, as lights-out factories operate autonomously across Asia-Pacific.
Most manufacturers have spent years and billions on automation—but productivity gains have plateaued. A new analysis argues agentic AI is the connective intelligence that factories are missing.
An A3 survey finds 86% of manufacturers view AI as the dominant driver of business transformation through 2030. LLM adoption in industrial settings doubled to 35% in a single year.
NVIDIA and Siemens showed a wheeled humanoid robot completing real logistics tasks inside a working electronics factory at Hannover Messe 2026 — compressing two years of development into seven months via simulation-first training.
At Hannover Messe 2026, NVIDIA and manufacturing partners including Siemens demonstrated physical AI and humanoid robots operating on real, active production floors — the clearest signal yet that industrial AI has crossed from showcase to operational deployment.
Accenture invested in General Robotics to bring general-purpose robotic intelligence to manufacturers — enabling robots to learn any task without specialized reprogramming.
NVIDIA announced partnerships with major U.S. manufacturing and robotics companies during National Robotics Week, with CEO Jensen Huang declaring that physical AI has reached its commercial inflection point as manufacturer interest in LLMs doubled to 35%.
