Artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) offer unique opportunities and challenges for operations that span the virtual and physical worlds. AI and ML can recognize correlations between real-world input data and outcomes and make decisions that automate complex physical industrial systems. But AI machine learning systems can't perform higher-level cognitive functions like exploration, improvisation, creative thinking, or determination of causation.
