Dynamic Manufacturing India - September - October 2022

في هذه القضية

We in the media love to spot a revolution. A quick glance at today’s news shows me that we are in the throes of at least three. An OTT (Over-the-Top) revolution, a Khaadi revolution, and a “new green” revolution are all underway as I write. While I have no doubt that all these are trends of great import, I haven’t heard any news about people clashing on the streets over who will get to watch Netflix or wear a Khaadi shirt.
Or perhaps the kind of ‘revolution’ that the media reports refer to are what Merriam-Webster defines as the type of revolution that causes “a changeover in use or preference especially in technology.” Even if so, I wish experts were more diligent about using this term. That they would call an event or a trend a revolution only when it causes a real changeover, or as they say in consultant-speak, a paradigm shift.
Let me give you an example of what I mean from the world of manufacturing. For many years now, analysts have been telling us that the fourth industrial revolution (IR) has arrived in the country. Numbers, however, tell a different story. This year’s NASSCOM’s AI (Artificial Intelligence) Adoption Index, which covers industrial and automotive sectors, files our industry under the category of “enthusiast” on the AI maturity scale. Artificial Intelligence, as you know, is a key 4th IR technology. I’d argue that, while it’s great to be enthusiastic about a technology, we need a far stronger sentiment than that to start a revolution.
