“I do think that AI will play a role in manufacturing and sort of 10 exiting or even a hundred exiting manufacturing so that we can actually outperform humans in other countries. I think that's the way it's going to look. Okay. So we will not have to reduce labor costs. In order to perform and compete with China.”
