The announcement sounds ambitious.
Rivian’s founder RJ Scaringe has created a new AI startup, because what every factory needs is more AI. The startup will “train on data” from Rivian’s factory, which is just a fancy way of saying “we’ll use the data we already have”. The goal is to “deploy” this AI in the factory, which is just a fancy way of saying “we’ll try to make it work”. Because that’s exactly what happens when you put AI in a factory – everything just magically works better. And of course, this is all “new” and “innovative”, because Rivian’s factory didn’t already have, say, robots or something.
