“AI will be disruptive, but our job, not only as manufacturers but also policymakers, is to make sure that that disruption is good for society, it’s good for our country, it’s good for promoting our values.”
For hundreds of years, emerging technologies — from the automated loom to the PC — have elicited fears or doubts from naysayers. Today, AI is a lightning rod for discussions both within manufacturing and beyond, but the fact is that AI is already enhancing our ability to be more efficient and produce more goods for the entire world, says Jay Timmons, president and CEO of the National Association of Manufacturers (NAM).
In this episode of the Manufacturing Matters podcast, recorded live at the Schneider Electric Innovation Summit 2025, Timmons joins TECH B2B Marketing’s Winn Hardin and Jimmy Carroll to discuss how AI, energy, and policymaking will impact the future of U.S. manufacturing. Timmons talks about how manufacturers and policymakers share a responsibility to best leverage emerging technologies, steer change toward better jobs, and drive the resurgence in American manufacturing. In addition, he discusses the workforce, education, advocating for manufacturers in Washington, and a NAM report on shaping the AI-powered factory of the future.
