Understand this story
Madhu Shashanka, co-founder and CTO of Concentric AI, argues that AI cannot replace the judgment of human workers. According to a report by The Guardian Technology on October 20, 2026, he said that AI is advancing quickly on tasks that can be automatically verified, but remains unreliable where there is no standard answer and judgment is required, so human work will shift more toward judgment. He also warned that when companies cut entry-level routine positions, they are destroying the training ground where judgment is cultivated. The report also mentioned that Ford this year rehired 350 veteran engineers to oversee quality control processes, and its quality ranking rose to first among mainstream brands for the first time since 2010. This view is currently reported by a single source, with no subsequent developments yet.
