Reliability vs innovation While Silicon Valley’ s culture prizes speed and novelty, manufacturing prizes repeatability and safety. Tim explains:“ An AI method 10 times faster but 1 % off from the ground truth is useless to a manufacturer.” In software, a small error could cause a slightly strange movie recommendation. In manufacturing, this could mean an aircraft wing fails or a semiconductor shorts out. He feels that this reliability concern should be reframed rather than dismissed.
