While the promise of artificial intelligence (AI) to transform the manufacturing industry is not new, long-ongoing experimentation hasn’t yet led to widespread business benefits.

However, new research from Google Cloud reveals that the COVID-19 pandemic may have spurred a significant increase in the use of AI and other digital enablers among manufacturers.
