## Summary

Oshri Cohen, CEO of Cybord, and Joel Scutchfield, General Manager of SMT and Semicon Business Operations for Koh Young America, discuss how AI is transforming inspection in electronics manufacturing. They explain that while traditional golden-unit comparisons fail due to component variety, AI enables 100% inspection of components and processes, moving the industry from reactive defect detection to proactive prevention. The guests highlight the critical importance of validating data inputs, adhering to IPC standards, and sharing data across platforms via initiatives like CFX to maximize AI efficacy and traceability. Customers are increasingly demanding immediate automated actions, such as rejecting counterfeit components, rather than just alerts, driving a shift toward autonomous, 'lights-out' manufacturing environments.
