Is AI Taking Over CNC Machining?
Fusion Blog: When you think of artificial intelligence (AI), chances are that a vision of supremely intelligent computers and robots taking over the world springs to mind. We’ve been conditioned by sci-fi books and movies to fear the worst.

I really appreciated the opening paragraph of this article. I am very much in agreement with the author that while it’s certainly .. interesting that we have built AI that can kind of imitate human artists and kind of sound like a human talks or writes, it’s way cooler that we can use it to automate tasks like machining or analyzing extremely large datasets. I also agree with the author’s conclusion that even as more things are automated, human CNC machinists will still be in work for a good while yet. Did you know that in the early days of linguistics people just had to analyze all their data by hand? Sometimes after a large fieldwork undertaking it would take years to analyze the data because there was just so much of it and it took so long to do by hand. It makes me think of Edmond Edmont, who literally biked around France surveying different people with questions about their dialects. It took 10 years for the resulting linguistic atlas to be published.
