I'll let Krista talk about it, but to answer your first question, to me it's a platform.
It's like a series of competencies that can be used to develop new products, like products that can think, and to support the future of production. The future of production in terms of manufacturing is going to be about real-time decisions made by systems that react to feedback from the supply chain and react to where elements, supplies, and inputs are that are being communicated in real time by a system.
AI is a platform that creates new products and influences the way process is developed.
