MatthewChang · x · 2026-08-07
Cybersecurity expert Matthew Chang shared a discussion about AI in industrial facilities. VCs suggest industrial companies 'pivot to AI' for defense, but critics argue they should visit chemical plants first. Another quote highlights a proposal to put an 'AI agent' on safety systems for autonomous action, met with skepticism: even humans aren't allowed to act autonomously on safety systems. This reflects the real-world challenges of applying AI to critical infrastructure.
