AI alone will have an enormous impact ---------- and in AI --------- one area alone will have a monster impact ---------- materials technology

the newly discovered material - discovered by AI that may reduce Li in batteries by 70% -- whether it does or doesn't, it's discovery by AI is a signal that AI is clearly a gamechanger in materials research

and it's just begun. At the rate it will progress now - I honestly wouldn't be surprised to see a world that we almost don't recognise - in maybe 10 to 20 years.

Human society and industrialisation is at a point where things like new materials or new processes can be implemented like lightning,

the changes are truly going to be like tidal waves IMO

In the traditional bible of Auto Manufacturing the norm was:
-20 year rolling strategic plan
-10 year model generations with facelifts after 5
-5 year review/tweak of the Strategic Plan
-Annual reviews of the business and marketing plans.

IMO, China has been the biggest disrupter to the Auto Bible
particularly its featuring in 2014 of auto manufacturing/R&D
in its "Made in China 2025 mega marketing plan.

China now commands about 30% of global auto manufacturing
(more in spare parts) and it is gaining incrementally by the year.
Trump tariffs on Chinese imports 6 years let the Chinese supply
chain Gini out of the Bottle.

Even the biggest 'auto disrupter" Tesla is greatly dependant on China
for both manufacturing and spare parts/components.
