When you go to a medical appointment, does the doctor look at you while you talk? Or are they busy typing everything you say into a computer? If it’s the latter, you may find that will change soon, thanks to artificial intelligence.
Generative artificial intelligence models have left such an indelible imprint on digital content creation that it’s getting harder to recall what the internet was like before it.
As AI makes its way into every corner of work, quality management is no exception.
I want to revisit the notion of information from a cybernetic viewpoint, drawing primarily from Gregory Bateson’s well-known formulation that information is the difference that makes a difference. This definition doesn’t merely redefine information.
Modern industrial and infrastructure environments are becoming larger, more complex, and more geographically dispersed. As facilities expand, internal audit teams face increasing pressure to deliver accurate, defensible findings within limited time frames.
Computer-aided design (CAD) systems are tried-and-true tools used to design many of the physical objects we use each day.
There are some jobs human bodies just weren’t meant to do. Unloading trucks and shipping containers is a repetitive, grueling task—and a big reason warehouse injury rates are more than twice the national average.
NIST researcher Jack Glover holds a test object for millimeter-wave imaging systems—scanners that are used to check passengers in many airport security lines.
If you’ve flown in the U.S. in recent years, you’re probably familiar with the airport security experience of entering a booth, raising your hands above your head, and having a machine check your body. That machine is called a millimeter wave scanner.

Traditional styles of lecturing and imparting information can be ineffective in terms of student engagement and triggering deeper learning.
