A latest report into the adoption of AI in the United Kingdom has revealed that even though a lot of companies are using AI, only a few have integrated the new technology into their manufacturing processes. The study, called The Future Factories was carried out earlier this year in collaboration with design software giant Autodesk. The report warns that the lack of confidence in digital technologies and AI means companies in the UK are at risk of missing out on innovation and productivity gains. It also proposes how government initiatives and regulation can support the adoption of new technologies.
