      How will generative AI enhance the industrial manufacturing industry?

      Industrial manufacturers (IMs) thrive in their ability to innovate and adapt to external challenges. Their resilience is rooted in a commitment to growth and the pursuit of new ideas, as well as the adoption of evolving technologies. This principle remains consistent, as IMs are currently turning to artificial intelligence (AI) to enhance efficiency, innovation, productivity, and profitability while addressing significant challenges they face.

      Generative AI is increasingly being integrated within Canada’s IM sector. A recent KPMG survey of industry leaders across the country revealed that many survey respondents (75%) have already adopted it, while almost all (92%) of those who have yet to adopt are planning to do so.


      Industrial manufacturers have a critical opportunity to strengthen their capacity for innovation and adaptability by drawing more fully on their deep experience and embracing a mindset of continuous growth. With emerging ideas and technologies, artificial intelligence stands ready to equip them to navigate the complexities of a dynamic landscape characterized by inflation, supply chain disruptions, and geopolitical conflicts.

      Generative AI: Shaping the future

      Industrial manufacturers (IMs) thrive on their ability to innovate and adapt to the world beyond their factory doors. Their resilience is earned from experience and a willingness to seek growth and prosperity through new ideas and evolving technologies. This is as true today as it was a century ago as IMs turn to artificial intelligence (AI) to drive efficiency, innovation, productivity, and profits, while responding to existential challenges in their path.
