Yet beyond the enthusiasm and the concerns, there has been an increased interest in AI in all areas of human endeavor. In manufacturing, for example, the number of publications related to AI has grown from about 500 in 2010 to more than 2,000 in 2020 (Arinez et al., 2020), and this trend can also be seen in other areas where AI is being incorporated.
