  <body><![CDATA[<p>Manufacturing is undergoing a significant transformation as artificial intelligence reshapes how industrial systems operate, adapt, and scale. The <a href="https://www.isye.gatech.edu/">H. Milton Stewart School of Industrial and Systems Engineering</a> (ISyE) has launched its <strong>Manufacturing and AI Initiative</strong>, which brings together faculty expertise in statistics, optimization, data science, and systems engineering to address emerging challenges and opportunities in modern manufacturing.</p><p>ISyE researchers are applying AI to complex manufacturing environments, including multistage production systems, asset management, quality improvement, and human‑centered manufacturing. Faculty leaders emphasize the importance of contextualizing large volumes of manufacturing data so AI can support reliable decision‑making, efficient operations, and sustainable outcomes. At the same time, the initiative acknowledges challenges such as data integration, system complexity, and the need to balance automation with human involvement. Together, these efforts position ISyE at the forefront of shaping AI‑powered manufacturing systems that are innovative, resilient, and socially responsible.</p><p><em><strong>Read the full article in </strong></em><a href="https://www.isye.gatech.edu/magazine/2026/spring/future-ai-powered-manufacturing"><em><strong>ISyE Magazine&nbsp;</strong></em></a></p>]]></body>

  <!--  Disquisition: it's funny how I write these TODOs and then never
         revisit them. It's as though the act of writing the thing down frees me
         from the responsibility to actually solve the problem. But what can I
