Although the specific technologies vary, executives say AI tools help their companies remain forward looking and competitive.
What started as a trend for consumers and tech companies has now fully landed in one of the most historically entrenched sectors.
Broadly speaking, artificial intelligence allows computers to learn patterns from large swaths of data and make recommendations based on that information. The technology was developed for decades before it burst into the spotlight in consumer-friendly tools such as ChatGPT last year. “One point we really stress internally is that as these really experienced shaders start using this new technology, it doesn’t replace their jobs, it actually helps them be better at their jobs,” Mr. Budde said. “They are becoming technologists instead of artists.”“There are a few people that are fearful of technology and the way that it could impact their job,” Mr. Budde said.Over at U.S. Steel, a bit of candor has helped engineers hop on the technological bandwagon.
Dave Charest, a researcher who led the poll, said one of his favorite examples was a hot sauce company based in Chicago that used AI to come up with new flavor profiles. Carnegie Mellon University has long been in the national spotlight for its artificial intelligence programs, both at the undergraduate and graduate levels. For equally as long, Pittsburgh has been synonymous with steel and other manufacturing staples.Citrine Informatics, an AI-backed chemicals and materials platform born out of Silicon Valley, opened a Pittsburgh outpost in 2017.
“As new technology comes out, it keeps them competitive, it keeps them going. I think PPG and U.S. Steel obviously have the same mindset considering that they’re still around and still doing well.”
