Ford rehires experienced engineers after AI misses the mark

4. Firing people from critical jobs isn't a very bright idea.

Before doing something as precipitous as replacing their engineers with AI, they might have had an extended trial to see if it would work.
As it is, it hasn't been proven that AI can replace critical thinking skills. Not to mention the decades of experience their human workers had.
I guess the dream of a worker free factory isn't much more than that; actually more of a nightmare.
Ford just paid a steep price for stupidity.
