We believe in augmenting humans through artificial intelligence. The human is very much still in the driver\u2019s seat and can move forward at a much faster pace and also provide more variations than would have been possible previously.\u201d She said that artificial intelligence is not yet advanced enough for full automation of entire jobs and still faces challenges such as hallucinations.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI believe in the ingenuity of humans,\u201d Bell said. \u201cThe strategy we have developed therefore is really a collaboration where we want to harness the best of both worlds\u2014human ingenuity, subject matter expertise (and) logical reasoning, with the computational power of AI, which is very good at finding patterns in very large volumes of data.\u201d The company has developed use cases that include co-designing a car, going from a manual sketch to a 2D or 3D rendering in the blink of an eye. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe can generate&#8230;<br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/brandequity.economictimes.indiatimes.com\/amp\/news\/digital\/humans-are-still-in-the-driving-seat-says-fords-ai-chief-bell\/129074576\">Source<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Ford&#8217;s AI Chief Bell Emphasizes Human Role in Automotive Innovation, ETBrandEquity https:\/\/brandequity.economictimes.indiatimes.com\/amp\/news\/digital\/humans-are-still-in-the-driving-seat-says-fords-ai-chief-bell\/129074576 Publish Date: 2026-03-05&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":220202,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/etimg.etb2bimg.com\/thumb\/msid-129074576,imgsize-86872,width-1200,height=627,overlay-etbrandequity,resizemode-75\/digital\/humans-are-still-in-the-driving-seat-says-fords-ai-chief-bell.jpg","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[14],"tags":[20],"class_list":["post-220201","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-artificial-intelligence","tag-artificial-intelligence"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/220201"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=220201"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/220201\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":220203,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/220201\/revisions\/220203"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/220202"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=220201"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=220201"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=220201"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
