## Summary

Priyansha Bagaria, founder and CEO of Loopr.ai, explains how her company uses AI-powered computer vision to automate quality inspection in aerospace, automotive, and general manufacturing. She details the deployment of their software applications, IQ Inspect for defect identification and IQ Verify for assembly verification, which are hardware-agnostic and integrate with existing camera infrastructure. Bagaria highlights key industry pain points, including the high cost of quality, labor shortages, and the loss of institutional knowledge as experienced workers retire, arguing that AI provides the consistency and scalability that human inspection cannot. She also discusses Loopr's strategic partnership with Microsoft and the importance of starting with high-value pilot projects to demonstrate clear ROI before scaling across factory floors.
