Unlike traditional predictive analytics used for decades, these newer technologies can handle unpredictable decisions that impact safety and critical infrastructure. Arti Garg, chief technologist at AVEVA, notes that while adoption has increased by nearly 78% over the past two years, the challenge lies in deploying these powerful but less predictable systems without compromising human safety or operational reliability.<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<p>To support this transition, organizations must integrate data from diverse sources like telemetry logs and engineering documents. AI-powered tools can now correlate this information quickly to aid real-time problem diagnosis. Furthermore, autonomous robots are being used to collect data in hazardous areas, reducing the need for workers to enter dangerous environments. However, greater autonomy requires new governance frameworks that emphasize security, efficiency, and human oversight, ensuring AI augments rather than replaces critical human judgment.<\/p>\n<p>Sustainability is also a key focus, with efforts underway to measure the environmental footprint of AI across energy, water, and carbon resources. Garg is involved in developing standards for this impact assessment. Ultimately, realizing the potential of autonomous robots and drones will require rethinking business processes to create safer, more efficient, and sustainable automation models that empower experienced workers while maintaining strict safety guardrails.<\/p>\n<div style=\"margin-top:2em; padding:1em; border-left:4px solid #0073aa; background:#f5f7fa;\">\n<p style=\"margin:0;\"><strong>Source:<\/strong> MIT Technology Review &bull; MIT Technology Review Insights &bull; October 8, 2026<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin:0.5em 0 0;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.technologyreview.com\/2026\/10\/08\/1144020\/building-a-safer-path-to-autonomous-industrial-ai\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Read the original article at MIT Technology Review &rarr;<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>AI-rewritten: This is a summary of an article from MIT Technology Review, rewritten by AI (Qwen, running locally) to make it easier to read.
