Ford has rehired 350 experienced engineers, including former staff and supplier experts, after its reliance on AI and automated quality systems failed to meet quality standards. These 'gray beard' engineers now help identify potential failures before production and train younger staff while improving AI tools. This strategy is expected to reduce costs by $1 billion this year and has helped Ford top the JD Power Initial Quality Survey among mainstream brands. Ford continues to use AI but supplements it with human expertise for better results.
