Ford rehires 350 'gray beard' engineers after its AI inspectors fell short (bloomberg.com)
Ford's own engineering VP put it plainly: "Mistakenly we thought that by just introducing artificial intelligence and ingesting the design requirements that we had, that that would produce a high-quality product." Bloomberg frames it as the machines failing to replace experience.
But the thread caught two asterisks: the systems in question were old-school vision CNNs, not chatbots, and nothing actually proves Ford laid off the 350 people it "rehired."
