It has started a conversation around what the confines of the technology should be and how much impact this will have on people's jobs and livelihoods.
While similar to the conversation surrounding robots taking over certain duties, the AI conversation is very interesting because the battleground isn't necessarily what physical work could be taken over but what logical or cerebral work can be accomplished by AI.
Many commercials and fun videos have shown the harmonious union between people and technology to perform all sorts of tasks. Robot dogs dancing to music and sarcastic software giving Tony Stark a hard time are examples of how culture is beginning to anthropomorphize tools that are more sophisticated than what weare used to. Robots aside, AI is continually being scrutinized as to whether it is sentient or able to display emotion, or in some cases, forcing the question of what emotions or feelings truly are.

Sometimes this work is shared across multiple parties, such as maintenance, reliability, and operations, and sometimes it is designated to a single team. Regardless of how it is staffed, the work has to be completed in an optimal manner to ensure that the machine operates effectively and reliably, all while extending the component's life.
Let's start by looking at the normal activities within a typical lubrication program.
