Generative Artificial Intelligence (gen AI) is an emerging technology in the manufacturing sector that promises business growth and improved efficiency in operations. There’s data to back this up as well – in a recent survey by Google Cloud, 72% of responding manufacturing organizations who have already adopted gen AI have seen a return on their investment.
In 2025, Gen AI is predicted to continue driving innovation for the manufacturing sector. Some future trends for the industry include leveraging gen AI for actionable data and insights, seeing gen AI drive a customer-centric manufacturing approach, and utilizing gen AI to help bridge the manufacturing skills gap.
Adoption of gen AI is going to continue to increase in 2025 and beyond, and manufacturers should prepare a strategy for how to effectively implement this smart technology into their own operations.
