"Mistakenly, we thought that by just introducing artificial intelligence and ingesting the design requirements that we had, that that would produce a high-quality product."
Holy cow, Ford bought the AI hype, believing they could go "hey computer, make me a good car" and it would.

Analysis Summary
Ford overestimated AI's ability to replace human engineering expertise in vehicle design and quality control, then had to rehire around 350 experienced engineers to fix the problems. The company's executives later admitted they mistakenly thought feeding AI their design requirements would automatically produce high-quality cars without adequate human oversight. This is a concrete example of how automation without domain expertise can backfire — Ford is now back to competitive quality standards after rebuilding its veteran engineering teams.
