In Canton, Mississippi, where Nissan assembles the Altima sedan and the Frontier pickup, there are cameras watching how workers move. The automaker says the AI-powered system is saving it millions of dollars — and ensuring that factory workers stay healthy.
“We’re not talking about job elimination,” Victor Taylor, Nissan’s divisional vice president of manufacturing for the Americas, told Business Insider. “What we’re referring to are mundane tasks that are really antiquated for a human being to be performing.”
Nissan is the latest in a string of automobile companies highlighting how AI is changing the way Americans build cars, including improvements in initial quality and shorter development times. But it is among the few willing to talk openly about how AI is watching its workers.
